For personal use. the front panel was a tip of the hat to the design to find on an equalizer panel on digital stereo equipment.
Custom made for a client who is a touring musician. He wanted a bag to carry all of his personal effects while on the bus from gig to gig. Skateboard straps, laptop compartment, room for books, tools, technology.

Early Bag Designs, 2008

These are the first two bags I ever made post undergrad. The maroon one, entitled, "The Equalizer" was for personal use, while the blue model, "The Gravatt" was for a paying client. Both explored methods of softwoods construction and furthered my passion for bag design. After 7 years, both bags are still in circulation today and going strong.
