These bags were inspired by the flight bags pilots carried from the earliest days of aviation. Constructed from the most rugged materials with thoughtful accents, they are designed to meet the most demanding situations over time and distance. They should be able to not only outlast any adventure they encounter but also serve as a tribute to the raw spirit of aviation that inspired their creation. Color of leather may vary.
About the creator Jawara O'Connor
The sky has always been a part of who I am. In pursuit of my childhood dreams, I embarked on a career to become who I wanted to be: Jay the Pilot. In the sky, I could be the person I always dreamed of being and create a life for myself. During this journey, I enjoyed meeting people, bridging cultures, and gaining a better understanding of the world we live in from its most romantic angles. From above, everything seemed simple, quiet and peaceful.
As a child, I noticed Pilots were always carrying things, and as I started my course into the pilot world, I became my own beast of burden. I amassed several items that needed to be transported from the plane to the hotel and back to the coffee shop. I was always transporting things, but no carrying device seemed to fit all of my needs. I decided to set out and create a durable carrier that would enable me to take what I needed, where I needed it, when I needed it.
I befriended two Northwestern master craftsmen, Shawn Bettinger and Mick Flynn, and created various styles of bags to fit my busy life. Not only was I creating items for myself but also works of art for other people. Now, with almost twenty years of experience, I am creating art that is nod to both the future and the past. Steeped in history and crafted with thick leather, brass rivets, and various steel fixings, these bags are designed to not only acknowledge the past but give you latitude to shape and outfit your future.
I hope you enjoy these works of art because they are made with love and an understanding that "necessity is the mother of invention." Go forward and be your best because these bags will be by your side for all of life's takeoffs and landings.
