Description
Description
Practical and thoughtfully designed, this new collaboration between Merchant and Mills and Francli Craftwear brings together beautiful materials and considered design. Ali from Francli Craftwear creates bags that are crafted with care, chosen with intention and made to be used for a lifetime.
The Weekender is the perfect pack for short breaks and everyday adventures. Available in two sizes, the large is ideal for weekend trips, while the small works beautifully as an everyday or overnight bag. Both versions are fully lined and include a handy internal pocket as well as an external pocket for easy access essentials.
A template is included to allow you to make your own leather tabs at home, adding a satisfying, professional finish and the option to personalise your bag further.
Suggested Fabric: There are three fabric elements to consider — the base, the self (main fabric) and the lining. You can choose a slightly heavier cloth for the base, as this is the part most likely to be placed on the floor. Self: oilskin, dry oilskin, mid to heavy-weight cotton canvas or drill, mid to heavy-weight denim (8–14oz). Base: heavyweight canvas, duck canvas, expedition dry oilskin or oilskin. Lining: mid-weight cottons or denim, or barrier lining if using dry oilskin or oilskin.
Fabric Requirements: Please see the image for fabric requirements and sizing.
