Wild Denim Slouch Bag

Small Batch • Handmade • Vintage 1960s Denim

Description

Every stitch tells a story.

The Keep It Wild bag is handcrafted from authentic 1960s Salty Dog denim, originally produced by Canton Cotton Mills — one of America’s most iconic textile manufacturers. This fabric was made for industrial workwear at a time when quality meant endurance, and the grit of that era lives on in every fiber.

Resurrected from a sealed bolt of vintage denim that sat untouched for nearly six decades, this bag carries a legacy of craftsmanship that simply can’t be replicated today. Each piece is laser-etched, hand-cut, and stitched in small batches — no two exactly alike.

The Legacy Behind the Fabric

Canton Cotton Mills, based in Georgia, produced Salty Dog denim throughout the 1950s–60s — a line described as “soft as a puppy, tough as an old hound.” Built for factory floors, ranch work, and true blue-collar life, it symbolized the American industrial spirit of durability and pride in craft.
