As we near the end of 2018, we find ourselves completely transformed – all styles of all of our bags are now available with vegetable-tanned leather which pairs gloriously with our waxed canvas! Have a look at our Travel Collection which includes the Dopp Case, Daybag, Journey Bag and Weekender, along with our new Reader Bag that has been altogether rearranged!
‘Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.’ —Winnie the Pooh
We have always been inspired by nature and are so happy to have begun transforming our Philadelphia acre of concrete jungle into green space filled with life! So far we’ve planted veggies and herbs and flowers, and introduced two honey bee hives (and Walter and Silas have fallen in love with Bee Daddying!). Slowly but surely, each little change is brightening up our space and the neighborhood! Neighbors have been stopping by to chat, ask questions, or simply say “hello!”
At Peg and Awl, we love what time does to an object: the natural transformation that occurs as it takes on the marks of the life that it has seen – the satisfaction of breaking something in and allowing it to grow with you. Our newly-evolved Tote and Finch Satchel, durably constructed with waxed canvas and locally sourced vegetable tanned leather, are clean slates eagerly awaiting this metamorphosis.
This quest has taken us a few years, but the adventure was worth it! It has brought us to a new place, it has solidified our mission to not accept what comes easy, but to stand our ground as invigorated and conscious makers.
