These look lovely but the description makes it sound like felted cordura, which I find really funny some reason.
We made up some of our favorite bag styles in an exciting new fabric. Cordura Konbu is a special variant of 500D nylon that is heat treated to create a dense, stiff material with a unqiue texture and hand. We even got to specify our own custom color, this rich Botanic Green, with the mill in Japan.
Bags are available to view now and inventory will be updated to IN STOCK this Friday, 6/23 at 11am Chicago Time.
How do you feel about totes? I find that they tend to get too heavy for one shoulder and tend to wish I’d brought a backpack instead. 😁
Definitely ergonomically not as good as a backpack (there’s an adorable bookbag in that 1733 drop as well btw), but if you are constantly in and out of the bag while you’re carrying it, a tote has the best UI. They’re also generally more prone to self-standing, which is a great feature if you “work out of” the bag.
When I used to do darkroom printing in a school lab, I would bring my paper and supplies in a tote and set them on the lab floor for easy access. I relied on that pretty heavily for workflow which became a problem on days when it rained : )
