Sturdy Bag Designs

This was a fun bunch to bring together today.
Limited edition rust, cocoa, and honey colored waxed canvas cargo (fork) bags.
I have some more canvas bags coming, but there’s some other projects that have to come first.
I may have more limited items available before the holidays, so keep an eye out for them!
Thanks for following, and take care of yourself this week ❤️

Seeing the places people go with these bags never ceases to amaze me.
Made in a small shop in Minnesota, and traveling around the world on incredible adventures.
It’s what us makers love to see and hear about when we sew the last stitch, and send them out into the world.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful image, Michelle!

More good things headed to Tucson!
If you’re near stop by and get a closer look at the new Sturdy bags they have to offer.
I’m so thankful for folks that choose to invest in bags made domestically.
Thank you Jenna!

I had fun today building these.
The new waist straps wrap your hips more than the initial run, and include a new little pocket in the right hand side.
A few of these are up for grabs.
DM if you’re interested.
Thank you ✌️

Happy rider pic from Danny!
I got the template, and we made it happen. You can spend less on a mass produced black bag, but this wasn’t too much more to have exactly what you want 👍
Thank you Danny!

Anita has been supporting this small business for years now, always picking up more than one bag at a time ❤️

Thank you for continuing to invest in this business, Anita! I love seeing familiar names in the order queue.

At 43 years old today, I’m still just a big kid who likes creating fun things with my hands as often as possible.

I’m getting back everything I’m putting into this life, and most days I’m receiving even more than I anticipate.
I’m grateful for my family, and my friends, and all who support me.
Thank you for sharing this adventure with me ❤️

Choosing to support a small business is a deliberate act of generosity and kindness.
There’s almost always a cheaper alternative, and it’s likely going to deliver a value and function equal to its price tag.
Thank you for all of your generosity past and present, Danny!
This was a fun way to wrap up my day 😊

I was thinking about working today. Then I thought I would maybe just work on myself a little instead.
I set out on a ride towards downtown with the intention to ride across the stone arch bridge and see some city sights.
Once I got warmed up, my shift cable inexplicably snapped, and unable to fix it on the road, I crawled back home defeated in the hardest gear while my front hub developed an unknown and very annoying rotational squeak.
I swapped the broken cable out once I got home, and after saying a few swear words about the whole scenario, I once again set out on a ride.
Going the opposite direction this time, seeking shade and quiet.
I found myself on the river bank.
I saw more people than I expected to, and even some old acquaintances (hi Graham & Pete!).
Two and a half hours and 29 miles later it was all worth it.
Ups and downs. A different and superior type of Labor Day for this fella than the one I initially thought I would have ✌️
