Horse & Anchor - Militaria Vintage Canvas Shoulder - OD Green

These zipper shoulder bags are extremely special. Lawrence puts a level of care into every bag...hopefully our other descriptions have pointed that out. But when you find a fabric like this - wow! The crackled, hand-painted stencil is gorgeous. It's perfectly placed amongst its fabric brethren. We're talking supple leather for the base, sturdy leather for the straps, brass/copper hardware, and selvedge denim for a lining. Honestly, that would probably be enough for us, but he goes above and beyond. Selvedge tickers accent the pocket bags on the inside for extra storage. Then, you've got his hand-hammered rivets and signature H&A coin stamp to top this whole thing off. This one is the one guys. 

Horse and Anchor is a one-man job. He does all of this by hand and no two bags are ever exactly alike. He's using vintage materials (yay sustainability) and artisan handcrafting methods to make these bags. I think the vintage canvas and perfectly aged leather speak to everyone's affinity for the past. The designs and details are just beyond the pale of comparison. When we saw them stacked up at the Inspiration Trade show in LA, it was game over.
