SOLD OUT — MORE ISLANDERS ARE ON THE WAY
The first 50 Islander Totes are officially gone.
What started as a test run became one of our fastest sellouts, so we’re already working on what comes next: a larger production, more colors, and a few subtle refinements to the details.
Some bags need a summer to break in. The Islander arrives with one behind it.
Inspired by carefree days in Vermont's Champlain Islands, and the sporty canvas bags that came along on every family vacation, it's made from 20oz canvas and stone-washed twice for a soft, worn-in finish from day one. All the nostalgia, without looking like a souvenir.
The silhouette is roomy and relaxed, with a surprising number of clever extras: longer shoulder straps joined by a snap tab so they actually stay on your shoulder, a hidden magnetic phone pocket, oversized interior pocket, grommeted lower-corner reinforcements, and a substantial crossbody strap finished in canvas on one side and thicker woven canvas on the other.
The first 50.
The Islander began as an experiment — our first bag made in a lighter, twice-washed canvas, and a chance to see how the material, wash and silhouette lived out in the world.
You made the decision for us pretty quickly: all 50 sold out.
So, we're bringing it back. The next Islander will keep the relaxed shape, washed character and spirit of the original, while introducing more colors and a few considered refinements along the way.
A note on the original color. The first run carried a faint green cast from the stone wash, uneven across panels and visible in the product photos. It was a natural characteristic of the washing process and part of what made each one slightly different.

Note: Due to our limited production run, all orders are final sale. In the rare case of a material defect, we’ll make it right. Thank you for being part of a smaller, more intentional way of making things.

Designed in Vermont. Crafted abroad.
PRODUCT CARE
The Islander was made to look lived-in, so a little wear is part of the point. Spot clean with a soft cloth, cool water, and mild soap, testing on a discreet area first.
Do not machine wash, soak, bleach, or tumble dry, as this may affect the shape, hardware, and stone-washed finish. If the bag gets wet, reshape it and allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat.
The canvas will continue to soften and fade subtly with use. Scuffs, creases, and variations in color aren’t flaws - they’re how the bag becomes yours.

This tote is super soft and the green is so vibrant! I love the huge inner pocket and the clasp closing feature. Please make this bag again in every color in the rainbow.

Great customer service! Decided to get another one shortly after the first arrived. Have used it for work, gym, beach, overnight, and errands.

Great! Have gotten a few compliments. Slouchier than I thought but it works well.
