"The Young Man & the Sea" Composted Mailbag

The Compost "The Young Man & the Sea" Old News Mailbag

A present from the past, delivered with no return address..

In smothering military fabric with the beautiful notes of some nicer tune, I hope to lay a blanket of tranquility, however tattered it may be...

This piece draws inspiration from the mailman sling bags of midcentury America, finding itself lost amid a sea of antique Japanese indigo and shaded by notes of peculiar cultural influence.  The base of the bag is constructed from vintage OG-107 fabric, of which it is also lined, it's face meticulously patchworked in a split of antique Japanese fabric in Sashiko style.  The bag was then carefully hand distressed to create a special cohesion between all the elements involved, an ode to what only time can do best. In smothering military fabric with the beautiful notes of some nicer tune, I hope to lay a blanket of tranquility, however tattered it may be...

God is in the details see, the body of the piece comes fully lined with vintage OG-107 fabric, and while most mailbags come with an unsealable open mouth, ours can be secured by the antiqued Western buttons in our own custom misty blue.  The split denotes the sea, meeting the land, and all the green it supports and is held securely across your body or over your shoulder with a vintage ww2 era military sling strap.  This "Old News" mailbag, is sized 16" W x 12" H x 6" D with a 37" strap.
