Believing in the old tales from sailors, Swallows means home-coming and near to the land. Out in the seas, whenever sailors see swallows or birds, it means they are near home.
Our directions - Feels like home, as reliable as land.

50s Gendarmerie Backpack

gendarmerie or gendarmery is a military force charged with police duties among civilian populations. Members of such a force are typically called "gendarmes".
The word gendarme comes from Old French gens d'armes, meaning men-at-arms. Historically, during the Late Medieval to the Early Modern period, the term referred to a heavily armoured cavalryman of noble birth, primarily serving in the French army. The word gained policing connotations after the French Revolution when the Maréchaussée of the Ancien Régime was renamed the Gendarmerie.
BelgiumLuxembourg and Austria had gendarmeries through Napoleonic influence, but all these gendarmeries have merged with the civil police, in 2001, 2002 and 2005 respectively. Many former French colonies, especially in Africa, also have gendarmeries.

Different era...




I have recently purchase this Belgian Gendarmerie backpack from Le Magasin. It is said to be from the 1950s.
Upon receiving, I was both amazed and fascinated by its good condition. 




For togo rope

 For holding water bottle

 Buckle and Strap

 Leather and Brass Pin

 I have been looking at this detail for a long time but still not figure out why one side is secured and the other side is removable. Well, it is still a special feature.

 Leather is still good, even with peeling signs.

OGL Webstore arrangement

During our moving of the workshop, OGL webstore is also re-arranging the product categories.
The idea is to sort the many leathercrafts that we have into product level, instead of previously, by style level.



Also, one of the main reason for this move is the cater for our SS12 release which is due in this Spring.
