The Marquesa Bag
An alluring classic.
The Marquesa bag is an unmistakable statement of style that’s destined to become your everyday carry. Water-repellent waxed canvas and a zip-top in antique brass ensure that contents are kept secure and dry—preserving your option to laugh in the face of an unexpected squall. Like a vintage leather jacket, the waxed canvas and genuine leather of the Marquesa will develop a characteristic patina over time—a coveted trait that lends to its charm. Unlined, with a single spacious compartment. Leather bottom, handles, adjustable / removable crossbody strap and key clip round out the functional details of the Marquesa.
Inspired by islands. Brought to life in the mountains.
When naming this bag, we drew Inspiration from the unique natural beauty of the Marquesas—an uninhabited island chain in the Florida Keys; dominated by mangrove forest.
Handcrafted by artisans in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the premium waxed canvas of the Marquesa is sourced from one of the oldest textile mills in the United States—and made using an all-natural proprietary wax blend, including beeswax. Cowhide leather is sourced from humane U.S. farms, eco-tanned using the highest environmental standards and is Declare Certified—a designation that screens against red-list chemicals and provides ingredient transparency.
