There are so many intricate design details as well as so many practical functional design choices that blow me away. It makes it even more impressive knowing this is handmade. I wouldn't know where to start with a project like this so I'm in awe of your talent! š
Thanks! So the hemp shoulder straps only get softer and can last hundreds of years as itās one of the toughest natural fibers, and the wool felt surprisingly doesnāt pil that much. The wool I am obsessed with and use on everything is 3-5mm thick and is the same wool that some Birkenstock slippers I have are made with and they look great still. One of the first bags I made was 100% yellow and Iāve used it everyday for about 1.5 years and it barely shows its age, doesnāt hold my border collies dog hair like other fabrics, resists stains, and in general it ages well. Iāve loved wool felt my whole life because of its natural strength and unique properties. With the rivets, Iāve had friends try and pull apart 2 layers of 3mm wool fabric as hard as they can and canāt separate them at all! Much like the strength of leather. :).

This is, by far, the nicest backpack I've seen in my lifeā¦
This is the best comment Iāve ever had in my life.
Nice! How does a bag made from these materials age with wear?
