The Strathmere is the only leather weekend bag you’ll ever need. With more than 2,600 cubic inches of available volume The Strathmere will effortlessly hold what you need for that much needed long-weekend out of town. I like to pack for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The Strathmere has no problem doing so. Quantities are limited, each bag is numbered.
Pack, bring that book, the one you’ve been meaning to read. Coffee on the road. Leave work behind, the sun will set during the drive.
Highways, by ways, and tolls. Bridges, cities, roads. Beach towel and sandals tucked safely inside.
One-lane bridge, you are close. Empty streets, the town sleeps.
Waves crash against the shore, grab your bag and open the door. Time to unwind, leave your worries behind.
The Strathmere - an exquisite leather weekend bag. Shaped from 5 feet of continuous leather, a design marvel of its own. Easily stow what you need for that weekend getaway you’ve been putting off, plus any extras that are required (unread books, necessary hair dryer, coffee snobbery items, etc). The ample space will fit just about everything you need to escape for a weekend. Leather Straps and buckles keep everything secure, dual flap closure ensures nothing will fall out, also keeps things dry if there’s a chance of rain from your car to the beach house. Handles for quick grab-and-go.
Take that trip, pack this bag, and send a postcard!
Annual Quantities are Limited
My yearly output of The Strathmere is very limited. Once I reach the yearly quantity I will close sales for that given calendar year.
As this is launching mid-2024 it will be a limited edition in that this Series (Series I) will have fewer bags available, Series II will be available beginning in 2025 and will include a standard full Series of bags.
Be the one of the first to own a Series I of The Strathmere!

Purchase Your Very Own The Strathmere Bag
I was originally going to support purchasing of this bag directly through my main catalog but something about that just didn't feel right, too disconnected, too much work having to be done on your end, also not very human. And so, if you have read up to this point and are interested or ready to buy, just use the form below to send me a quick email. I'll follow-up with questions that will need answered, the color you'd like, and other options that can be discussed. Once those details are finalized I will send you an invoice through my Shopify site where you can submit payment (or you can mail a check if you still have some of those laying around). Once payment is received your order will go into my queue.
I look forward to hearing from you!
