La Musette (prototype) Olive Green & Orange
Sold Out
-
I'm in the process of developing a new small shoulder bag called "La Musette" and as always the case, I am producing multiple versions and variations along the way. Usually its while I wait on specific fabrics, hardware, labels and just generally figuring out the best way to produce the bag. These prototypes are an excellent way to get this great Wilboro bag at a lower price point. I'm using a prototype daily and loving it! These are brand new, never used.
Features:
-Adjustable and removable shoulder strap (so you can flip it depending on which shoulder you prefer to carry on).
-Elastic strap-keeper prevents the strap from flapping around.
-Two zippered pockets. The larger pocket has two internal organization pockets (great for wallets, phones etc.). The smaller zip pocket, has a key lanyard which makes it easy to use the keys without actually taking the keys off.
-Leather Wilboro logo patch.
-Gusset construction allows more volume than a traditional musette.

**BLEMISHED**Revival Satchel (Medium Brown)
Sold Out
- Available Sept 5th a 8pm EST
-
This Revival Satchel got a small cut in the inside top binding (only visible when bag open) during production. The Binding has been repaired by covering the damaged area with another section of leather binding sewn over top. The repair while done in the same leather is still visible and the stitching although strong, doesn't look perfect. From a strength and durability perspective it's excellent.
- See second picture with green arrows to view the repaired area.
FINAL SALE
**For 2024, instead of making large batches infrequently I aim to make small batches of the Revival Satchel monthly, likely alternating between colours each month. Due to the overwhelming demand, I will be announcing on social media and will send an email if you sign up for the newsletter to give advance notice of the drops. Thank you very much for all the interest!**
- After two years of development, testing, countless mock-ups, prototypes and pattern changes a new bag was born – The Revival Satchel.
-
- It didn't take long for the Revival Satchel to start turning heads and even winning Carryology's Best Work Shoulder bag award in 2023
-
From the beginning, the concept was clear – to re-imagine the classic leather school satchel/briefcase for everyday use both around town and going into the office.
This new bag needed to be sleek and minimalist yet ultra-functional.
It takes the best of time-tested materials and combines them with modern ones – all the while maintaining a cohesive look. It pays homage to traditional leather bag design without being constrained by it.
We've settled on a fusion of vegetable tanned leather and heavyweight felt mixed with one of the most cutting-edge fabrics in the world. It is fitted with magnetic closures, premium safety buckles, and custom hardware developed specifically for this bag.
The bag has been designed to be worn either as a traditional satchel/briefcase (horizontal) or angled like a messenger bag. The unique strap attachment system allows the bag to pivot in relation to the strap – thus accommodating varied carry preferences.
Every aspect of this bag has been carefully considered.
Features include:
- Front flap pocket with organizer panel.
- Fidlock Magnetic front closures.
- Removable high density industrial felt laptop sleeve with leather zip pocket for a 13" laptop. (14" Macbook pro's will also fit)
- Messenger-style Asymmetrical Felt padded shoulder strap which is removable and reversible for left or right shoulder carry. It is attached to the bag with custom aluminum hardware and has an Austrialpin Cobra buckle for quick disconnect and adjustment.
- Bag lined with Dimension Polyvalent UVX40 x-pac for strength, structure and durability.
- Leather grab handle.
- All hardware is replaceable.
Retail $1,000 CAD plus shipping.
