The bag I'd really like to own is a rucksack made of waxed canvas and leather that I spotted at a weekend crafts market a few months ago. It was being sold by a small, family-run workshop, and I've been thinking about it ever since.
It's quite a simple design, medium-sized, in a dark olive green, with tan leather straps and two brass buckles on the front. The canvas has been treated with wax, so it's water-resistant, which matters a lot to me because I seem to get caught in the monsoon rain every single year. What really caught my eye, though, was the stitching. You could tell it had been done by hand, and the man running the stall told me each bag takes his team the best part of a day to make.
I want it for practical reasons as much as anything else. My current backpack is a cheap one I bought in a hurry, and the zip has already broken twice, so I'm fed up with replacing things that fall apart. This one looks as if it would last for years, and apparently waxed canvas actually looks better with age, as it picks up creases and marks.
The only problem is the price. It's a lot more than I'd normally spend on a bag, so I'm saving up for it bit by bit. Honestly, I think waiting will make owning it even more satisfying, and I'd much rather support a small local maker than a big brand.
