The Sock Club London x The Superior Labor – Bag Collaboration

The Sock Club London may be all about socks to its loyal members, but for the second year running the British brand has collaborated with Japanese company The Superior Labor to produce a limited edition of exclusive hand-made canvas bags which will be available only on the Sock Club London web store.

Two bag styles are offered:- the SCL Canvas Bag – a good alternative to the usual man-bag, and the SCL Triangle Pouch – perfect for keeping socks and extras, both constructed with natural materials that can only improve with age and use.  

Made mainly in natural heavyweight canvas, the SCL Canvas Bag  is available in black and features an additional overlay of duck hunter camouflage fabric on the handle straps and the base of the bag. 

With a roomy interior, the bag has deep open pockets on either side. One side features a logo made of bronze which depicts The Superior Labors mantra. On the reverse side the pocket has Sock Club Londons circular logo hand printed in white.

The coordinating SCL Triangle Pouch is also constructed from natural heavyweight canvas, and is available in black and featuring an additional overlay of duck hunter camo on the base and sides of the bag. 

The pouch can be closed with a heavy-duty Waldes branded brass zip, with leather zip pulls. 

Side brass rings are affixed by leather and brass rivets; and the camo is finished at either end in a triangle shape and held in place by additional brass rivets. 

The well-designed and craftily made Canvas Bags and Triangle Pouch are both great looking bags - just in time for Christmas.  

Founded in 2007 The Superior Labor operates out of a former schoolhouse, in the hills

of Okayama in Japan, which has been converted into a workshop. Here they make some

of the best utilitarian products out of natural materials such as cotton canvas and leather. 

Sock Club London which recently celebrated its first anniversary, has gained a loyal following since its inaugural product launch at the "Made in England" event in September 2014 and continues to keep its members informed of exclusive events and product drops via its website, blog and instagram account.  In addition to its own brand, the club also features those from partner brands.
