Handy Bag is a Lesli Larson and Tom Bonamici joint. We started the now-defunct Archival Clothing, and wanted to make a few bags again. Releases will be very sporadic, so sign up for email updates on our Contact page if you want to know when they happen. This will remain a lo-fi, low numbers, tiny scale endeavor. Check the SHOP page to see if anything’s currently in stock.
