I built the Beach Assault Tote and then took a year to make any! Here they are!!! #beachbag

Last year I built the Beach Assault Tote proto. Then I missed the whole holiday window. So I kept it to myself, and have been using it for a year. It’s my bag for the beach, for swimming practice, trips to the grocery store, for activity gear, soccer ball bag, camping expeditions, a workhorse on family trips, and even when there’s not much in it, I like it as an oversize relaxed messenger style worn cross body. It does everything. It even carries three boxed Ancoats totes to the courier drop point! It’s cavernous. My wife uses hers on a daily basis as an oversized tote style…some of you might even be waiting for this drop specifically after seeing her Finnish camo edition ;-) Well, the patterns are resolved, the build process is (finally) dialled, and there are a handful ready to go. Don’t hang about on these. Some editions may never be repeated due to hardware stock or limited remnant fabric use. Now, I’ve almost missed the holiday window all over again, so I’m super keen to let you know about these. Some of them were cut for over a year ago! If you like information, and you want to see them being handled in video format, I’ve just uploaded a proper YouTube effort where I drill down into the details and the differences between the 4 fabrics and get into all the design decision low down. What and why they’re a little bit different…they’re Ancoats’ through and through! That’s it….go get ‘em….4 fabric stories: Woodland X50, Autumn Duck Nylon, a stunning Finnish Camo and an Olive Ventile Canvas! All on the “Ready To Ship” page…NOW!!! #gearhaul #oversizetote #bagmaker #bagdesigner #theancoatsbagcompany
