Superior Labor Canvas Pouch

I'd seen the beautiful Superior Labor canvas utility tote at J. Crew's Broadway shop in the summer and was quite impressed. I ended up shying away as I has just bought my Wm J. Mills bag, but it's been in the back of my mind since. With Tokyo on the schedule, I was looking forward to finding more canvas goods by a couple companies I'd only read about online, Superior Labor being at the top of the list. While the pick up isn't of ground breaking proportions, I was happy to come away with this camera-sized pouch. It features a few of the large tote features in a mini package. The leather pull tab on the Waldes treated zipper, special canvas that was developed locally, their great branding in stamp and woven tag form, and the dipped water proofing process. While Superior Labor often use a colour to coat the bottom of the bag, I really liked the look of the white dip. Something simple can sometimes just be exactly what you're looking for.

Wow. Hits so many right notes for me. It takes real thought and expertise to execute such a simple piece.

P.S., I love the goofy picture of you guys on Superior Labor's website.
