Journal

We are so excited to introduce The Canoe, a beautiful structured tote bag, designed in collaboration and handcrafted by Tufts & Batson. Beautiful, thick bridle leather wraps around in an oval shape and is hand-sewn together with a big, visible stitch.

“When designing the bag, we were inspired by OTZI’s beautiful log baskets. It’s such a cool design,” says Forsyth co-founder Annie Genovese. The large tote carries a ton. Maggie Kidd, Forsyth co-founder and Annie’s sister, uses the large Canoe as her daily work tote. “It’s such a great bag. Because of the structure of the leather, I can see and get to everything inside fast and easily. It fits comfortably under my arm, and it fits a laptop.” says Maggie.
