About this piece

The Lake Superior is part tote and part briefcase. A briefcase type organization panel offers larger and smaller pockets as well as a card holder. Pockets on the outside of the bag could work for a water bottle, keys or a collapsible umbrella. Rolled leather handles, a leather bottom, and compartments all add up to a tote of distinction. 

About the artist

Christin Fargo started Frost River in Duluth in 2002 with a single sewing machine and a belief that gear should outlive the person carrying it. The company now employs 40 craftspeople in a century-old building overlooking Lake Superior.
