Because addiction to vintage is cheaper — and legal. This bag is for the thrift-flipping, market-hopping, side-eye-giving purist in all of us. Hand-pulled screenprint on a vintage-style newspaper bag that’s tougher than your grandpa’s opinions. Made with 17.5oz canvas, triple stitching, and a padded strap to handle everything from records to regrettable impulse buys. Carries weight — literally and figuratively.

A Classic, Reinvented : This 17.5 oz heavy canvas tote bag is a faithful reproduction of the mid-20th-century newspaper carrier bags once slung over the shoulders of paperboys across American cities.

Inspired by the rugged newspaper carrier bags of decades past, this heavyweight tote is a modern tribute to timeless utility and craftsmanship.

The 8" pleated pocket on the front of the tote is a direct nod to the functional design of mid-20th-century postal bags. Originally used to store delivery logs, route books, pens, and other daily tools, this compartment was essential for quick access on the go.

Key Features:

• 17.5 oz Heavy - Duty Canvas: Crafted from 17.5 oz heavyweight cotton canvas, this material is densely woven, rugged, and naturally structured - offering exceptional durability and a substantial hand - feel. Its thick weave resists abrasion, holds its shape over time, and develops character with age.

• Triple & Chain - Stitched Seams: Reinforced with triple-stitched and chain-stitched seams, every stress point on this bag is built to last. Triple-stitching adds layered strength for high-wear areas, while the chain-stitch technique - traditionally used in workwear and denim - offers a flexible, durable bind that won’t easily unravel. Together, they create a rugged construction that echoes classic work wear made to endure.

• 3" Riveted Padded Strap: The wide, padded shoulder strap is both stitch-reinforced and anchored with double-cap rivets - built to withstand years of heavy use while offering comfort and durability where it counts.

• Protective Rain Flap: Extends over the main compartment to help keep contents dry and shielded from dirt, debris, and light weather - ideal for daily use in unpredictable conditions.

• 8" Pleated Utility Pocket: this expandable pocket offers extra storage for daily essentials while keeping a low profile when empty - built for form and function in equal measure.

• Rooted in postal history. Recreated for everyday utility. Built to last.
