Italian press coverage of Canvas Bags and Fashion/Style and of course...Wm. J. Mills & Co.

Translation from Italian:
"Cute, funny but also roomy and summer. They are the canvas bags of Wm. J. Mills & Co. for spring / summer 2011. We at Modalizer, told you so, that canvas marks a big comeback in fashion this year! Look at our gallery, after the jump!

You spend your holidays in the city, or that there should be better and you are planning a summer sensational on the beach, perhaps with a few boat trips, know that the company Wm. J. Mills & Co., for five generations, has as its core business the production of handmade products for the marine canvas.

It all began in late 1800 by William Mills, a Scottish immigrant who settled on the Atlantic coast of the United States, in Greenport, at the end of the north branch of Long Island. In those beautiful places, Mills began his work as a production of sails, and was successful.

The economic growth of cities in the Big Apple led to an increasing demand for fish and boats, making the town of Wm. J. Mills & Co. ; Greenport, New York, the place perfect for the development of all types of business related to boating.

After more than a century and five generations, the production of sails still remains one of the cornerstones of the business of Wm. J. Mills & Co, though not the only, and not overwhelming.

Coming to the present day, in fact, the company began to devote itself - and with excellent results - to the production of any article in canvas, targeting an audience of both private individuals and companies.

The product requests? From tents to awnings. Which brings us to the news for spring / summer 2011!

"The canvas bags from Wm. J. Mills & Co. are produced with the same meticulous attention to detail that has been the trademark for over a century "

We recommend the house. This collection, in fact, consists of patterns of shoppers and all handmade by the same use of materials that the company strives to produce for sails, for boats, and tents. Thanks to double stitching, both inside and outside, then, are are incredibly strong and durable.

Learn more about this? The site of the Wm. J. Mills & Co is available and to try everything. It is a great desire to sing "sea smell of the sea .."
