Built for Everyday Adventure

The Newport’s reinforced base loops feature bar-tack stitching to handle daily strain where most drawstring bags fail. Combined with its fully lined interior and generous 39cm x 47cm profile, it’s made for real-world reliability, whether you’re commuting or camping.

Heritage-Weight Waxed Canvas

Crafted from 8oz beeswaxed cotton canvas, the Newport is naturally water-repellent, breathable, and develops a rich patina over time. This isn’t mass-produced synthetics—it’s heritage-grade material that ages with grace and adds character with every use.

Heritage-Grade Natural Materials

We craft bags from heavyweight beeswaxed canvas, genuine brass, and premium full-grain leather, delivering authentic quality, sustainability, and enduring style that matures beautifully rather than deteriorating.
