I looked to craft a bag which looked how I wanted, sleek and simple, as well as working efficiently in a multitude of situations. A take on the classic sling-bag form, The standout feature of The Quiver, is the single strap sewn into the inner seams of the bag, providing stability as well as a pivot point. The bag makes use of top-quality water proof rip-stop for its interior, as well as 800 denier canvas in a royal purple, along with its smooth edged YKK zippers. Quality was the key factor in the making of this bag. A product designed to make the day just a bit easier.

An example of the bags multi-functionality. The single strap was sewn at an angle that allows the wearer to sling the bag over the back, or under the arm. This also allows for ease of access when it comes to reaching into either pocket, whether one is pulling an object out, or putting it away.
Despite stemming from ancient warfare, The Quiver aims less for dull camouflage, and more for the subtle elegance of dark, soothing grays, blacks, and purples. Stylistically, the bag aims to please the eye, while still remaining discreet.
Making adjustments and correcting key flaws in the prototype design allow for a smoother final process. Writing on the bag itself also helps to remind yourself of original errors, as well as ways to improve in general.
