Materials Library

This library is meant to be a guide for your material sourcing needs. Bag making can be a pain in the ass as it is. The last thing we want to do is spend hours a day looking for a certain material.

Seattle Fabrics

My personal hometown heros... I'd be lost without them. Seattle Fabrics is my go-to material supplier for all things Bag Making. They have the widest variety of fabrics, hardware, trim, zippers and more. It’s a one stop shop that is suitable for most builds.

Buckle Guy

Buckle Guy has been a main supplier of mine since I began this journey back in 2013. Ran by Hugh, BG is a subsidiary company of IAS ltd. which was started over 65 years ago by his grandfather (who helped brands like Dooney & Burke when they were just starting out). Buckle Guy is Hugh’s brain child, bringing hardware and other materials to the MYOG community. It’s a great source for hardware, tools, leather and notions.

I have no personal experience with Rockywoods, but based on what I see on their website, they are a solid candidate for materials.
