The Kitchn included our Bake House Bread Bag in their gift guide The 25 Best Gifts on Etsy for Home Cooks!

This bread bag can be used two different ways: Your friend can bring it with her when she goes to the bakery to buy bread (no waste!), or she can put her own homemade bread in it when she brings a loaf to a dinner party or picnic. As long as it's being filled with bread, that's what counts.

Venturesome Overland wrote an excellent review of our Waxed Canvas Tote in their article Favorite Things: Peg and Awl Canvas Tote!

… I carry it everywhere – it goes to and from work with me and has already weathered several camping trips, where it came out none the worse for wear. A bit dusty, maybe, but nothing a damp rag won’t fix. I love that about this bag – it looks chic enough for me, is an excellent EDC, and is tough enough to not get destroyed from rough use. It was a big investment, but it was my fortieth birthday present to myself and it will last for years.

Peg and Awl says that the tote is “a blank slate waiting to be marked with the adventures and stories of use.” It’s already been in Botswana, Qatar, New York City, Portland, Or., and Missoula, Mt., carrying its own history and going on new adventures – collecting stories along the way.

Budget Travel featured our Hunter Satchel in their article What’s Your “Day Bag Personality”?

Carry It Crossbody
For years, I’ve been searching for a day bag to fit a book, a water bottle, over-ear headphones, and sunglasses, plus the wallet, organizational pouch, and lip balm that I always carry. It needs to be something big enough to hold it all without having to Tetris it in, but not so big that it weighs me down, and this no-frills satchel from Peg and Awl ticks all the boxes. Designed to carry the essentials and inspired by purpose-driven vintage bags like colonial-era satchels and the military map cases of World War II, the Hunter is made from sturdy, waterproof waxed canvas, with a brass rivets and studs for a modest flash of bling and a wide leather shoulder strap that stays put and doesn’t dig in. The interior pocket is just the right size for a wallet, keys, and a battery pack, and the main compartment is roomy enough for everything else. It's a utilitarian number with a few subtly clever details, from the smart placement that keeps the strap from twisting to a flap you can close with one hand (and a bit of dexterity).

Luna Howell wrote an excellent review and took beautiful photographs of our Sendak Artist Roll. Read the review on her blog!

“Not only is it beautiful, but it is also sturdy! The waxed canvas feels very durable, like it will age well. I also enjoy the fact that the Sendak has a big carrying capacity compared to most rolls I’ve seen around. It keeps my favorite art supplies organized, which is a big relief for a messy person like me. That means that it also makes the art making process easier. Now, when I draw or paint I always know where everything is! It’s a wonderful feeling!”

Mountain of Ink wrote an in-depth review of our Sendak Artist Roll! Read their full review on their website!

“It’s been a while since I’ve done a pen case review, so I thought I’d share one I’ve been using lately. The Sendak is made by Peg and Awl, I have the truffle waxed duck canvas with brown leather version.

Peg and Awl is a family-run company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They collect pre-owned and vintage materials and re-work them into new items. I love that they focus on recycling. I have their medium waxed canvas pouch as well, and use it daily.

…

I really like this case. It holds a lot and is very durable. Give it a try, you might love it.”
