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

The Vintage Typewriter Bag is profiled
An updated satchel bag originally used to carry a portable Smith Corona typewriter to school, now is available in the Wm. J. Mills & Co. Vintage Styling. Constructed in both waxed cotton twill (Dry Series) or from Duck canvas (Vintage series) this bag now joins the family of Business bags offered in the Mills bag line. We still call it the Typewriter bag so we don't loose sight of the humble roots it came from.
The heavy duty twist button closure allows the envelope flap of the bag to be secured. The closure itself is borrowed from our marine hardware to give a heavy duty closure that will last a lifetime.
All bags in the Vintage styling have black oxide hardware, that will not rust and gives a subtle, understated look to the bag. Along with our in-house made fabric piping, this bag is cooly sophisticated.
All the Vintage styles bags have a heavy duty/ extra wide shoulder strap. This strap does not curl and sits flat on the shoulder so that the heavy weight of your bag carries comfortably on the shoulder.
The Typewriter bag has an interior pocket sized to carry a tablet PC or Ipad. We find it ironic that a bag that began life to carry a typewriter, now is purposed to carry laptops and Ipads.
The simple shape and styling on the exterior of the Typewriter bag belies the pockets and dividers found inside to keep your contents organized, separated, and retrievable.
Interior pockets for pens and business cards are mounted on the interior dividers
The back divider has the pocket PC pouch which we mounted on the interior side to afford maximum protection to that kindle with a few chapters left to read.
Here the Typewriter bag is shown in waxed cotton twill (approx 24 oz.) which we call the Dry Series Typewriter bag. Waterproof an organized.
