Our Sailor’s Waxed Canvas Ditty Bag
Fall 2024 Canvas Bags
A sailor’s best friend.
Originally made and used by sailors from scrap sailcloth and remnants of rope, a ditty bag was the only way sailors could carry their belongings from ship to shore. Onboard vessels, space is at a premium, so sailors had to carefully pack only the essential clothing, tools, small trinkets or letters from loved ones.
Our sailor's ditty bag is a reinforced waxed-canvas synch top bag made with durable 10.10oz duck canvas. Made by hand in Boston, Massachusetts.
A tote to rule them all.
The tote bag is believed to have been invented in Maine in the 1940’s as a way to carry ice. Since waxed canvas is durable and water resistant, it was the perfect fabric to lug loads of ice from the truck to the freezer.
Our waxed canvas tote bags are reinforced with two layers of 10.10oz duck canvas and 2-inch wide heavy cotton straps. Made by hand in Boston, Massachusetts.
Heritage style equipment for the modern explorer. Our history of handmade quality dates back to 1884 with six generations of Italian merchants & craftsmen.
