About this piece

A simple, sling bag of waxed canvas and cotton web. The Little Marais can be worn across the back or under an arm. Either way it works to simply carry some stuff. Wide at the bottom, narrow at the top and closed with a zipper-- about the only surprise with a Little Marais (besides the fact it will carry a half gallon growler jug) is the quality... and the value.

The company now employs 40 craftspeople in a century-old building overlooking Lake Superior.
