Like a vintage leather jacket, the waxed canvas and genuine leather of the Marquesa will develop a characteristic patina over time—a coveted trait that lends to its charm. Unlined, with a single spacious compartment. Leather bottom, handles, adjustable / removable crossbody strap and key clip round out the functional details of the Marquesa.
Inspired by islands. Brought to life in the mountains.
When naming this bag, we drew Inspiration from the unique natural beauty of the Marquesas—an uninhabited island chain in the Florida Keys; dominated by mangrove forest.
Handcrafted by artisans in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the premium waxed canvas of the Marquesa is sourced from one of the oldest textile mills in the United States—and made using an all-natural proprietary wax blend, including beeswax. Cowhide leather is sourced from humane U.S. farms, eco-tanned using the highest environmental standards and is Declare Certified—a designation that screens against red-list chemicals and provides ingredient transparency.

Storied resilience that's long on character.
By the mid 1850s, waxed cotton “sheets” had become the new standard for sailing vessels, and the versitile fabric swiftly found its way into outerwear fashion. Prized by sailors, soldiers, outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers alike, waxed canvas quickly gained popularity—and remains a sought-after textile due to its versatility and long-wearing beauty.
From the islands to the mountains.
Although the name was inspired by a group of islands in the Florida Keys, the Marquesa bag is brought to life in the famed Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. U.S. sourced & handmade by Asheville artisans, the waxed canvas is manufactured in one of the oldest textile mills in the country, making the Marquesa a true American original.
Equal parts dependability & charm.
Crafted using tightly woven 20 oz. waxed canvas (a durable, water-repellent textile), few bags can shrug off the rigors of day-to-day use quite like the Marquesa. Renowned for its toughness, waxed canvas is favored by many for its unique character as well—a signature patina that develops over time with regular use.
