Something to consider while attending panel discussions and going on tours: The exclusive John Lautner Foundation bag. More than a tote, less than a suitcase, this bag is well-made, tough and versatile.

Each bag is sewn individually in Skandia, Michigan, and machine-embroidered especially for the Foundation.

The tote measures 11″ across the front, is 6-1/2″ deep and 14″ tall. It is made of 1000 denier cordura that has a urethane backing, making it water resistant. The lining is a 400 denier pack cloth. the bottom is double layered for durability. The 1″ heavy-duty straps wrap completely under and around the bag, also giving it strength. The inside zipper is a YKK zipper – the best available. Sewn with 92 lb. thread. It is very strong and all seams are sewn twice and then covered with grosgrain 1″ binding, in black.

Cost: Inside the U.S. – $55, including shipping. Outside the U.S. – $65, including shipping
