I walked into a Roots store today and saw this Village Pack (in a vibrant red colour and selling at 50% off the regular price!). What was more notable than the price, was the way it was made and its construction has given me more fodder to consider for my field kits. And yes, I am tempted to go back and get that one I saw.

You lose what you don't hold

With my research has come a new interest in:
a) sewing/crafting/tactile making
b) multiple uses for one thing
c) fabrics and textures

This bag (and the other products in this line) targets the ideas I imagine when I consider future iterations of my field kit. Multi-purposed and beautiful applications make me happy.
