  • New Product Lauch :: The Deluxe Tote

    Deluxe Tote Bag

    We are excited to announce our most streamlined bag to date, with a bit more flare and a lot more designed convenience. We are now sewing in outside pockets but keeping the same trusty size as our popular Large Tote bag, and leather straps to handle anything life throws at you.

    Deluxe Tote Bags

    We all know you fell in love with our Large Shopping Tote years ago, with its simple yet stylish design, perfectly sized to fit just about everything. The new Deluxe Tote, comes with the same fine leather and lifetime guarantee, but with a few upgrades that are exactly what you've been missing. Now with a zipper closure and two outer pockets, the Deluxe Tote becomes not just the everyday bag, but the everywhere bag! While it is still ready for the farmers market, beach days, and picnics, now it’s ready for overnight trips and the office, too!

    Features:
    - Two large front pockets
    - Solid Brass Teeth Zipper enclosure
    - Rustic Weather resistant leather
    - Two internal pockets
    - Brass D-Ring and snap hook for keys
    - Backed by the Make Smith Lifetime Guarantee (see details)

  • New Product :: The Passport Wallet

    Passport case

    Intro: 

    It's the traveler's guide to efficiency and style, the only item you'll need from that early morning arrival to late-night departure, the Passport Wallet will never leave your side. 

    Development:

    Find yourself with too many things to carry while trying to catch a flight? You aren't alone. It had to fit all the essentials: passport, cash, credit cards, maybe a boarding pass or two? We crafted something slim and secure, that could fit everything you need safely in your front pocket while running out the door. Acts like a wallet, looks and feels like a passport holder. Ditch the fanny pack and put the Passport Wallet in your pocket. 

    Features:

    With three convenient credit card holders, a cash sleeve, and attached snap enclosure--there is finally a passport case that keeps all your travel must-haves tucked away right in your pocket. 

    We promise this isn’t just cooler, it’s better.

    US Passport Wallet :: $104
