About the brand:

Temple was adopted into the artist collective of McManus Studios. A design cooperative built on three simple words: dream, risk, create. An American-made bag company that is sourced and produced locally in Los Angeles, California.

Every bag in their Heritage Collection is handcrafted from materials formerly used in WWII. The fabric is found after hours of searching through dusty warehouses; it is then washed, cut and re-purposed into our contemporary designs.

Due to the unique process of salvaging these vintage military goods, each bag is guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind. Ironically enough these fabrics that were once used for defending our freedom now serve to protect what they value most.

Sold online at www.templebags.com
As well as a few select boutiques in LA (more distribution is on it’s way).
