Surplus Archeology
I pay close attention to where I get my bags. So, I handpick them myself and later wash them with care. I buy them through different military surplus sellers or thrift stores. But, I always pick vintage items that have history and sign of wear such as: markings, holes or traces of rust, which make them even more beautiful and authentic.
Painting Method
I do hand paint everything myself. It does take many hours to research, draw, paint and heat press the design on the fabric. Moreover, for inspiration, I constantly study soldiersโ paintings on duffel bags and leather jackets. They are a great source of inspiration.
Pricing
I do spend many hours on these unique bags and I do hand paint everything. I donโt use any machine or computer! Itโs all manual! So that explains why some bags reach $300 or more.
Care
Itโs preferable that you donโt wash the bag. Even if it was heat pressed, itโs best not wash it and keep it rugged. If you do stain it, just use a wet cloth and gently rub it. It should be ok!
Packaging
The bag will be packed in a beautiful handmade packaging. Each bag gets the best care in the world in order to reach you.
