My new product line embraces sustainability that looks good 🌎

These dopp bags and backpacks are made from reclaimed billboard fabric and finished with repurposed strapping from shipping pallets—turning tough, overlooked materials into something bold, functional, and built to last.

Every piece is one-of-a-kind, with the billboard material being 100% waterproof. Durable enough for everyday use, distinctive enough to stand out wherever you take it.

Less waste. More style. Gear you can feel good carrying. ♻️

Fun and quirky, buying one of these three waist bags will add personality to your everyday carry. The Crime Scene Lover bag combines bold black canvas with playful “CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS” & "Evidence" zipper pulls—perfect for true crime fans. The Orange Bird Delight brings retro Florida vibes with its cheerful citrus theme and vintage-style design, ideal for sunny adventures. For gamers and show lovers, the "Fallout" bag channels Wasteland survival with Vault-Tec graphics, Nuka Cola zipper pulls, and a custom interior. These are available to order on Etsy, or to purchase Cash & Carry at the Blu door in Battle Creek.

Just finished a waxed canvas Rayna sling for my daughter—any guesses what her profession might be? I left this one unlined since the waxed canvas works beautifully on both sides and offers some natural flame resistance.
