DIY: Artifact Bags
In my previous life I was a bag lady. Wait.. no, that applies to this life too. And maybe you’ve already guessed, but I have a bag fetish - which is sort of odd because I never have much to carry other than a crippling sense of irony and a heavy-set depression.
Blogger/father/vintage+militaria enthusiast Chris Hughes of Omaha, Nebraska is slowly surfacing his homemade project - a collection of canvas and leather bags. In a market already saturated with bags for men (which kind of sounds like an 80’s new wave band), Hughes is entering a risky business (sounds like a mediocre 80’s movie…) Howeer, his attention to homemade craftsmanship and sourcing of quality materials (Horween leather and Waxwear canvas) has put his bags in early contention with the vanguards of rugged luggage - i.e. Filson and Duluth Pack.
You can see Hughe’s project updates on his blog Ship Inside Bottle. He has plans to sell and market his pending collection at Artifact Bags. Get on it, Turkeys.
Addendum: Hughes sent me an email with a link to his temporary Etsy shop where the below totes are sold. See: here.
