Rival Craftwork

As I am finishing my evening wrapping some gifts, I realized there may be a few people who need an awesome last minute gift! These two Explorer totes finely finish in Horween veg tan are available for immediate ship and local pickup, Randolph NJ. Both measure 12" w x 14" t x 3.5" d. DM if you are in need, I can ship tomorrow.

Some of the leather options and canvas backpacks.

Why cant I stop? Just went for two months killing it with canvas bags in prep for Chester Craft Fair, then I look at a few duffles and black leather and get an idea.....

I picked up this Boy Scout bag at while and I were in Asbury Park for our anniversary last weekend. The bag is extremely brittle, the canvas has lived it's life and is ready to take a dirt nap. But, I love the patina and the story it tells. I planned on cleaning it up and converting it into a backpack quickly, as a ton of people loved what I did with the US mailbag (last photo for reference).

This is going to be a bit of a longtime conversion. The canvas needs to be reinforced throughout. It will get a full lining and structured shoulder strap setup. Repurposing what was into something new and functional is extremely rewarding. Stay tuned!
