Each piece is individually handcrafted in our studio using unique, deadstock, or custom-sourced materials. No two bags are exactly alike.

The Story

The Shell Case is a structured pouch designed to hold its shape and keep smaller essentials organised. It is built for everyday durability, providing a neat, reliable way to secure your belongings on the move.

Each case is handcrafted in small batches in Scotland using salvaged textiles and repurposed components, from the vintage zips to the thread passed down through generations. The weather-resistant waxed cotton exterior is sourced either from the Remake recycling centre in Crieff or from the deadstock of other creative practitioners. Much of this premium cloth originates from Halley Stevensons in Dundee, a mill world-renowned for its heritage weatherproofing. The interior is fully lined with high-quality cotton fabrics sourced from local charity shops, including Cancer Research, Blythswood, and Strathcarron Hospice.

Perfect For:

  • Daily Essentials: Keep cables, chargers, keys, and pocket gear neatly sorted in one place.
  • Toiletries & Cosmetics: Contain bottles, tubes, and brushes safely away from the rest of your gear.
  • On-the-Move Organisation: A compact size that drops easily into larger bags, rucksacks, or drawers.

Product Care & Ageing

  • Highly durable and built to withstand damp bathroom counters or everyday travel, the waxed exterior will naturally soften, darken, and develop a unique character with age. To maintain its quality, do not wash or use detergent. Simply spot clean the surface with a damp cloth and cold water.
