Meet Lesley. She's been working with waxed cotton and leather since she was nineteen, and every backpack we make passes through her hands before it reaches yours, then carries her signature inside.
A wonderfully warm human with incredible attention to detail. We're very lucky to work with her.
Meet the makerThe Scout is our small waxed cotton crossbody bag in Cherry red with a vintage wet wax finish, handmade to order in Britain and signed by its maker. Made from Halley Stevensons waxed organic cotton, this weatherproof bum bag keeps your phone, cards and keys close on city days, festivals and coastal walks. Wear it across the chest, on your back or 90s style as a fanny pack round the waist, thanks to the adjustable cotton webbing strap and Sheffield stainless steel buckle. Inside there are pouches for your phone and cards plus a key ring, all behind a storm flap and a Japanese YKK zip. Made in Britain the slow way, this is slow fashion at its best: a sustainable, British made belt bag built to last for years, not seasons. An everyday sling bag for women and men, and a gift they'll keep for life.
