If you are searching for a bag to match your lifestyle and vibes, to “work” with you every day while never losing its character, you have certainly come to the right place! At BagBlaze we love and strive for functionality as well as the inherent beauty of simple, authentic objects. For BagBlaze, a cotton-made shoulder bag is not just another accessory, but rather a companion of your everyday life you must be able to rely upon. It is in such a bag that you carry all the items, small and not so small, that you will need throughout the day. This bag should also in some way be an expression and a choice of the things that characterize you as a person: your everyday routines and program, your favorite activities, in short your life as you choose to live it.
It is based on this conviction that we design and offer our waxed canvas shoulder bags that we believe satisfy the above conditions. Bags that are practical, sturdy, unique in the selection of materials used for their creation, but also lightweight and good for long and loyal service to their owner.
Waxed Canvas: What is it, what are its uses and why it can make a difference
Waxed canvas has a particularly interesting history behind it. It was originally conceived and made quite some time ago in Victorian England with marine and military applications. It is made of high quality cotton cloth which undergoes a layered waxing process to make it resistant to water, humidity, wind and wear. Today, apart from its already established use in producing comfortable, weather resistant and at the same time elegant and sophisticated sports and outdoors overcoats, we make it available to you ready for another mission: to hold and carry your very own personal “valuables” and to become your inseparable companion in your everyday activities.
It is made of high quality 100% cotton canvas which has been processed with a special wax to make it both water and wear resistant and unique in looks and touch. It also gets more interesting to touch and more beautiful as it matures.
When you have one of our bags in your hands you can almost feel the care we put into its making. Every stitch, every cut, every part of its assembly is added with careful attention. As time passes, waxed canvas develops visible natural patterns on its surface, much like a story that is written on it by you.
Quality that does not fade, but simply matures
You can hold your waxed canvas bag all day every day for a long time. It will look magnificent not because it stays unchanged but rather because it changes with you. Its texture, strength and feel under your hand is right there to remind you that quality is something that can be seen and felt.
Because you also are not looking for something short lived. You seek a long standing companion, a bag that the more you live with it, the more you feel it as a piece of yourself.
Your Everyday Life with a BagBlaze Cotton Shoulder Bag
We believe a cotton shoulder bag must not merely look pretty. It must satisfy the requirements of a full day program and keep up with your pace without burdening you. A waxed canvas shoulder bag does just that, with style and confidence. It does not follow fads, it creates its own.
Practical
Ideal for every day, without lacking in elegance
Practicality does not mean accepting compromises. BagBlaze shoulder bags prove that you can own an accessory that can best serve your daily needs without compromising your aesthetic requirements. They keep their volume with no distortions and their elegance, whether they are carried over a business jacket or an evening linen outfit.
Unique
Shoulder bags made of waxed canvas evolve with time. No bag is identical to any other. Wax “writes” on the underlying cloth creating small creases, subtle color patterns and a texture singular to each separate bag.
Waxed canvas as a material to create on
People at BagBlaze treat every fabric they utilize as a surface on which to create art. The final product is a small work of handcrafted art telling its own story.
Stylish
Casual chic appearance with just a bag
You don’t have to change your bag with every outfit you put on. A Bagblaze cotton shoulder bag is a perfect match whether you opt for jeans and sneakers or you go for a boho dress or a linen jacket.
