Sample Sale - "Finnoch" Field Bag - Bark/Bracken
A second of our "Finnoch" field bag, this has the older ticking cloth lining. This seconds bag has a very slight cut on zipline topstitching on the back of the bag, but this is purely cosmetic and does not affect the function of the bag in any way. Image of the flaw attached.
One of our bestselling designs, inspired by walks in the forest collecting treasures, and foraging for leaves. The "FINNOCH" is a perfect size for carrying your notebook and essentials, whilst being compact enough to make sure you don't bring the whole forest home!
With the option or a double colour palette or a triple colour palette on the front, eac field bag has an external double slip pocket (On the back for the triple colour palette) and an internal double slip pocket, meaning this little bag has plenty of room without feeling cumbersome.
Made from Scottish waxed cotton, lined with durable striped ticking cloth and finished with a slim adjustable crossbody strap from oak bark tanned bridle leather. All handcrafted in our studio in Aberdeen.

Care
Waxed cotton canvas is a water resistant cotton which creases and marks as it wears. It means it creates a completely unique product, and becomes a visual representation of the adventure's it has been on. These marks are an inherent characteristic of the cloth, adding to the antique, vintage feel of the product.
Recommended care:
-As with all waxed canvas products, do not iron as this will cause the wax to melt.- Hand wash only with cold water and leave to dry away from natural light.
- If field bag is particularly dirty, use a soft brush to wipe away excess dirt before cleaning, using a mild soap/detergent and cold water on more stubborn areas.
- As with all waxed products, re-wax every 6-12 months to restore waxed cotton to top condition.
Sustainability & Transparency
All bags are handmade by me in my studio, allowing me to minimise waste, and reuse all scraps wherever possible. £1 from each sale is donated to Trees For Life, who are rewilding the Caledonian Forest. You can view our grove here.
The waxed cotton is produced in Scotland, from a factory who have been pioneers of the waterproofing textiles industry since 1864. You can read more about the materials we use and why we use them here.
