216 Union 2011 Work Luggage Collection

216 Union Brand is a dedicated family business collecting original pieces such as bags/belts/work tools/fabrics from 1950's - WWII era... All of our products are hand made, double stitched, riveted.


So claims the header of their website. I've been following them for a little over a year now and they keep a steady stream of vintage-inspired and repurposed bags released throughout the year. For now, the bags are only available by ordering via e-mail and are usually one of one though some bags can be reproduced upon request. A revamped website will be coming in 2011; for now you can e-mail info@union6.com for pricing & availability. I believe the price range (£90 - £130 +  $23 - $25 USD for shipping to the U.S.) is around the same as similar brands such as RRL and Temple Bags, though 216 Union bags are a little more unique and rich with natural character. The bags in the image above are all currently available to order.
