Customizable Newspaper Bag

$150.00 - $180.00
— Sold out

These newspaper bags are based on measurements from vintage bags and are made of an American grown, milled, and woven 13.75oz black denim. Constructed on an antique domestic machine (1886 Improved Family) with some help from my 1956 319W for the zigzag applique. I'm happy to offer a few customizable options, seen below.

HOW IT WORKS: After you order a bag in your desired size, I'll send a Google Form to the email you've provided. You'll fill out the form with the options you'd like, and I'll get started on your bag. You can expect a relatively short turnaround time on these, with shipping roughly two weeks from your order date.

SIZE (Chosen below):
1. Full Size - the actual measurements from a vintage bag. A bit cumbersome for everyday wear, but will fit an unbelievable amount of goods.
2. Three Quarter size - same height, but the panel width bumped down to about 18 inches. More practical for everyday use, in my opinion.

STRAP :
1. Regular - A strap size I drafted that feels reasonable to wear - approximately 2.5 inches across and 38 inches long.
2. BIG - This strap is the same size as the side panel, about 6 inches wide and 48 in, based on vintage examples. The strap ends come together at the top, closed with four rivets.
The length of both straps can be reduced if desired.

CLOSURE:
1. Tie Closure - a strip of fabric on either side of the bag allows for tied closure
2. Flap - seen often on vintage examples, a big flap that flops over the bag opening
3. Lobster Clasp - a brass and leather clasp that snaps into place. Limited Stock!

TEXT:
1. 4 inch - I can fit up to 9 letters on the full size bags, 7 on the 3/4s, up to two rows.
2. 3 inch - I can fit up to 12 letters on the full size bags, 9 on the 3/4s, up to two rows.
You'll include the text you'd like on the Google Form.

TEXT COLOR:
1. Blue - an Indigo denim from my stash
2. Gray - the backside of the black denim used for these bags.

RIVETS:
1. Raw Brass
2. Raw Copper
3. Dealer's Choice (I'll pick one type of rivet from my existing stash)
4. Assorted (I'll grab a random handful of rivets with assorted designs)
