Zag Swag Wool Flight Bag
This maxi-minimalist bag highlights Production Mode’s signature weave. This flight bag is made of a custom merino wool & cotton textile called ZagSwag, designed and woven in Chicago by The Weaving Mill, based on drawings by artist Nuria Montiel. After coming off the loom, the fabric is felted slightly to create a textural play between the merino wool and the more stable cotton. The perfect multipurpose bag, each flight bag includes an adjustable, removable shoulder strap, two large outer zipper pockets, one large interior zip pocket, 3 small, interior patch pockets, and heavy-duty, cast, antique brass hardware, including feet to help protect the bottom of the bag. Featuring Vegetable Tanned Leather from Horween Tannery.

Our vegetable tanned leather is from Horween, a unionized tannery founded in 1905 and the last tannery left in Chicago. Vegetable tanning is a slow, non-toxic process which uses tree bark extracts to cure the leather and which produces hides with rich, warm, and uniquely variegated tones that improve as they age. Vegetable tanned leather can be more easily and safely recycled than chrome tanned leather (the most commonly used and often quite toxic method of processing leather). Vegetable tanned leather retains the grain patterns, marks, and scars picked up by the animal during its lifetime; each bag reflects these variations of the hide.
All pieces are cut in our Chicago workshop and sewn by stitchers whom we employ directly (without the use of contractors or piecework), using a slow fashion model of manufacture, wherein workers are paid a living wage. Our pieces are made one-by-one, and can be customized to your measures and preferences.
