I’ve used various types of fabrics throughout the years of sewing messenger bags. I decided to take it back to canvas. The fabric I chose for this years is the Juniper (British Green) canvas fabric.

The fabric is water repellent. This is not waxed canvas, so I think everyone who doesn’t like the stickiness of the waxed material can get one, which I would be very happy. The fabric is pretty soft from the start without breaking it in. It’s a comfy bag to wear.

Why this color? I was just in the mood for classic bags like the image below.

I just wanted to make a messenger bag that has a Weekender/Duffle bag from 80s-90s that were made by brands like P_lo Ra_ph_auren or brands like J. _rew vibes, so I chose this fabric.

The velcro tapes and the trim tapes are brown this time, instead of the black I used for years. I think the brown looks very nice on the British Green fabric. The tarpaulin material on the inside, are even same colors as the bag itself. I believe that you can enjoy a different type of aging of the bag compared to the previous ones.

Other than the fabric, everything else about the bags are exactly the same. One big main compartment and one inner pocket.

I’m so excited to be making these again! Thank you so much for all the support!!
