Inspired by a vintage newspaper bag, our Big Shop Tote has enough space for all your belongings. Featuring a thick shoulder strap, loop-tie, internal compartments and made from a naturally dyed 100% organic cotton.

The Sun Faded Capsule

One of the things we’ve always loved about vintage is the way garments fade after years of wear in the sun. Sometimes brands recreate that look with chemicals or artificial processes (some of the better ones use lasers which is very Star Trek). Natural dyes naturally fade (or, in some cases, darken (tan)) over time with exposure to the sun, making them more beautiful every day they’re worn. We don’t - we use the sun (also this is a reminder to always wear sunscreen).

The Sun Faded Capsule is a little slice of our R.T.S. line where we pre-fade items a little to get them started. They look gorgeous and vintage but their story isn’t finished. It's on to you to wear and love them to keep developing them. We’re releasing this in batches, and they’re quite time and labour-intensive so grab one if you like it because we aren’t sure when we can get more out in the sun.

CO-64SF

Our R.T.S. we use a naming system for colours that was started by one of our natural dyehouses to keep track of experiments. It usually secretly encodes what dyes are used and what pre-treatments came before it. It was a way to keep things more simple. In this one single case, it’s more complicated than the plain truth. It’s natural indigo.

That said, the plain-ness ends there. Our natural indigo is different to 99% of what everyone but the most dedicated home-dyers call natural indigo, because not only is the dye natural, but the process by which we dye is too. We use a fermentation method, similar to how wine is made. They say comparison is the thief of joy, but it’s worth knowing (because we pay extra and wait longer for it) that most brands using “natural indigo” then use chemicals to actually dye with it, because they’re cheap, quick, and predictable, even to a novice. The natural way is expensive, slow, and only replicable by an expert.

To fade them, as you might have guessed, we place them in the sun. It’s an homage to the sun-faded vintage we love. Again, to get this effect anywhere else you’d use chemicals or, in the most up-to-date wash houses, maybe lasers. Nevertheless, we prefer the sun. It will continue to fade and change as you wear and love it, but this gives it a good nudge in a beautiful direction.

Speaking of, when me and Katy were abroad once, we overheard someone in a vegan cafe post-yoga telling some other westerners about the power of walking outside naked in the morning light to “absorb the divine masculine” via your genitals. She was really passionate about it. I don’t think we finished our toast, but that really stuck with me, so in an effort to let go, I’m passing it on to you.

*Each bag features a unique fade, making every piece one of a kind. Fades will vary, and we’re unable to accommodate specific requests.

Great for protecting my maps
Size: Regular - 12 x 16 Inches
Fits my exploring maps just right. Heavier duty than expected. Ziplock closure is tight and should last for years.

Terrific addition to your backpacking gear
I like this map holder for its versatility in holding different size maps. Once sealed, it was very effective at keeping moisture out and protecting the maps. I originally used this on a 13K mountain ascent. Worked great. The only thing that can be tricky at times is sealing the top. It's not as easy as sealing a typical zip-loc kitchen bag, takes some doing to get it to seal.

Best Map Case Ever!!!
Size: Regular - 12 x 16 Inches
Best Map case in the market! Field tested and keeps everything dry. The size is fantastic and you can run paracord through the rings. I would recommend this to anyone that uses a map. You definitely pay for what you get and that's high quality and functionality.

Just right for protecting river trip guides
Size: Regular - 12 x 16 Inches
Nice and durable - heavy duty. Getting ziplock to close is a pain though - lick or spit helps.
