Heavyweight organic cotton, printed once with our mark. Made for a market run, a term of textbooks and the flight home — in that order, in the same year.
One colourway at launch. Undyed canvas holds the print better than a bleached one.
Checkout opens when the first run lands. Until then the button stays off rather than taking an order we cannot fill.
A flat 10 cm base so it stands on a table instead of folding over what is inside it, and a 38 cm mouth wide enough for a week of flowers or a stack of A4 folders.
Handles are 70 cm — long enough to go over a shoulder with a coat on, short enough to carry in the hand without dragging. Every handle joint is bar-tacked, which is the stitch that fails last.
340 gsm organic cotton canvas, pre-shrunk, undyed. The print is a single water-based ink on the front panel only — nothing on the back, nothing on the straps, no woven label shouting on the outside.
Wash at 30°, no tumble dry, iron inside out. It will soften over the first month and keep its shape after that.
EU shipping from $4, two to five working days. Thirty days to return anything unused — we pay the label and refund to the original method.
Nothing ships yet: this page is a product record, not a checkout. You will get one email when that changes.
The brief to the maker was one sentence: a bag a student still uses two years after the exchange ended.
Everything else followed from that — the weight of the canvas, the single print, the bar-tacks, and the decision not to put a logo on both sides.

Every number here is on the product page rather than in a footnote. If one of them turns out to be wrong when it ships, we will change the number and say so.
“A bag a student still uses two years after the exchange ended.”
The only brief we gave the maker.
A document folder, a luggage tag and the emergency card — the three things every student loses in the first fortnight.
For the person standing in an arrivals hall at six in the morning. Warm, quiet, and findable in a crowd.
A printed record of the exchange, generated from her own timeline — and only ever ordered by her.
No launch countdown, no waiting list politics. We write once, when you can actually order it.
