Why We Love ‘Em: Maybe it is the Mainer in us, but we totally dig these bags. They’ve got that rugged ‘I belong on a fishing boat’ look and yet have an inherent hipness. In an adorable boutique filled with enviable fashion pieces, this was the item that caught our eye - a canvas tote of all things. But this is not your standard-issue tote.
Designer, Patrick Long, designed the bag as an ode to his granddads, Chester and Wallace. It is the ultimate man’s bag, made of vintage canvas upper sourced from the US and Europe and fitted with a durable waterproof nylon lined bottom. The design objective? To design a bag that could accommodate a 6 pack… or two. It can be folded up or down and held with the dual handles or the ever useful messenger strap. Side pockets on the inside and out will keep your precious cargo clutter-free.
