about us

We set out to create something for the self-reliant—those who carve their own way, adapt to their surroundings, and thrive in the face of challenges. When it came to finding the perfect manufacturing partner, we weren’t satisfied. Factories abroad fell short on quality, and those closer to home lacked the flexibility we needed. So, we built our own.

Our vision is simple: gear that works as hard as you do. Every bag is designed to be functional, utilitarian, and refined for those who demand resilience and adaptability. We focus all our products on three pillars: weather resistance, durability, and versatility. We strip away the unnecessary to obsess what matters. Fewer steps, fewer weak points, less waste, the best materials—this means our gear is stronger, easier to repair, and made to last a lifetime. Essential design that moves with you, wherever the path leads.

Designed and made by hand in Providence, RI.

Our Ethos

Small Team, Small Batch
We believe in a new style of 'Made in America.' Central to this style is making in small batches with a small, agile team. This allows us to stay focused on quality, taking on only what we can handle, and offering only what we can sell. This is a longer term vision for slow growth, a lasting business model, and a meaningful community.

Simplicity Equals Function
"In the paticular is contained the universal." - James Joyce

We design for the universal, the adaptable, the self-reliant. We obsess essential features like: durability, weather resistance, body/shape, and comfort. Our unique designs wear well with any outfit, in any use case and for all conditions. Designed to "Go Anywhere and Do Anything."

Part of our obsession of simplicity is to minimize waste. Our bags are designed with zero-waste patterns; using every inch of the cuttable width of our textiles. We keep a tight inventory of parts and trims and put to use any scrap we have for future small goods production.

Quality: Never Compromised

Making simple is never the same as making easy...but we believe it's the key to creating something versatile and lasting. We source the highest quality materials, prioritizing Made in USA textiles wherever possible. Each batch is stitched by hand in our small factory so that we can control the quality and craft of every product. The 'simplicity' of our designs reduces failure points and encourages easy repairability. Every product is backed by our keep-it-simple guarantee. Bags are built to be used and worn. If yours ever finds a loose stitch or a point of failure, send it back and we will repair it free of charge, no questions asked.
