The Sling and Fanny Collection at Squires Canvas Creations represents the ultimate intersection of "Bagineering" and hands-free freedom. Designed for the adventurer, the maker, and the minimalist, these silhouettes—including the fan-favorite Windward Sling and Spinnaker—are engineered to hug the body comfortably while providing effortless access to your essentials.

From the rugged Maryland coastline to the streets of the city, these bags are handcrafted to be as resilient as they are stylish.

The Harris Tweed® Sling & Fanny

Heritage on the Move Our Harris Tweed® slings bring a high-end, sophisticated edge to a traditionally sporty silhouette. By using the world’s most prestigious wool, we’ve transformed the everyday fanny pack into a statement of luxury.

• The Authenticity: Each piece features 100% pure virgin wool, handwoven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The iconic Orb Mark ensures that your sling is part of a centuries-old tradition of artisanal excellence.

• The Experience: The natural water-resistance and durability of Harris Tweed® make it surprisingly practical for outdoor wear, while the rich, heathered textures add a layer of "slow-luxury" to your casual wardrobe.

The Leather Sling & Fanny

Sleek, Architectural, and Timeless For those who want a minimalist, high-impact look, our leather collection—featuring Horween and Italian Vachetta—offers a sophisticated take on the hands-free trend.

• The Materials: We use premium full-grain leathers that are supple enough to contour to your body but durable enough to hold their shape.

• The Patina: These bags are designed to be lived in. Over time, the leather will soften and develop a deep, lustrous patina unique to your journey, making your sling a one-of-a-kind heirloom.

• The Hardware: Finished with industrial-grade metal zippers and solid brass or nickel hardware for a smooth, secure closure every time.

The Canvas & Waxed Twill Sling

Rugged Utility & Nautical Spirit Inspired by the sails and rigging of the Chesapeake, our canvas slings are the workhorses of the collection.

• The Materials: We utilize Bees Waxed Canvas, Waxed Twill, and Stone Washed Canvas. These fabrics are chosen for their weather-resistance and "scuff-and-wear" character that only gets better with age.

• The Function: Often featuring vibrant artisan prints or classic maritime neutrals, these bags are lined with durable natural canvas or luxe linen, providing a bright interior that makes finding your keys or phone a breeze.

The "Bagineer" Difference

• Ergonomic Design: Every strap is cut from premium vegetable-tanned leather and is fully adjustable, allowing you to wear the bag as a traditional waist pack or a trendy cross-body sling.

• Intentional Storage: Despite their compact size, our slings are engineered with interior slip pockets and secure zippered compartments to keep your daily carry organized and snag-free.

• Handcrafted Integrity: Every seam is reinforced in our Maryland studio, ensuring that your bag can handle the rigors of travel, hiking, or a busy day at a maker’s market.
