Category: Maker Kit

The Portsmith is a minimal, workhorse of a tote that features sturdy leather straps, metal rivets, and a reinforced base. A classic everyday bag that's strong enough to carry anything you throw its way!

These B-Grade kits have minor imperfections, like scuffs and dents, on the leather and waxed canvas. The cut fabric pieces might be slightly shy of the pattern dimensions, but the bag will sew up just fine. They include all of the materials you need to make the Portsmith, as well as the PDF pattern. You have the option to add the online class, tools, and a paper instructions booklet below. NOTE: FINAL SALE! The leather, zipper + hardware colors will be a surprise! *Fabric and leather may include dents, scuffs and small spots

Took this on a weekend trip and the leather straps stayed comfortable even loaded down with a laptop and water bottle. The reinforced base is no joke, it held its shape sitting on the floor the whole ride.

Joseph Z. ★★★★★

The metal rivets on the corners feel rock-solid, and the reinforced base keeps its shape even when I stuff it with a laptop and groceries. The leather straps are stiff at first, but they’ve already started to break in nicely after a week of daily use. For the price, this "seconds" quality is barely
