2024

Worked on the third installment of 1733’s annual Artist Camo series with a print we are calling “Midwest Camo”. Inspired by plants, rocks, streams and hills around Illinois and Wisconsin as well as traditional military camouflage color palettes. We did two color ways for this release, one representing lush, green of June and one for September’s dry amber equinox. The pattern is used across a variety of 1733’s favorite silhouettes.

A little about 1733:
They have been designing and making bags and accessories in Chicago since 2014. They operate out of a studio in the West Garfield Park neighborhood with a small team. By using small-batch, in-house manufacturing, selectively paired with high-quality domestic factory production, they create bags that are durable, beautiful, and uncommon.
