All Canvas Bags are Not Created Equal.
At Wm. J. Mills & Co., we craft our canvas bags with the same meticulous attention to detail that has served as the hallmark for all of our canvas products for over a century.
Each of our hand-crafted canvas bags is created using the same rugged canvas and stitching used to make our weather-resistant marine canvas and awnings, so you know that they’ll last, year after year. Plus, unlike most other bags, we employ “double-needle” stitching to create rolled and finished seams – inside and out – for unsurpassed strength and longevity. In fact, we’re so sure that your Mills bag may be the last bag that you’ll ever buy that we offer a lifetime warranty with each and every bag we sell!
Currently available in 5 distinct styles and a full palate of colors, we are always finding new ways to apply our craftsmanship and experience to all kinds of custom-canvas products.
Remember, if it’s made out of canvas, we can make it at Mills!
The Duffel Bags
A staple of sailors and boaters for over a century, the duffel bag is possibly the most practical bag ever made. Packed properly, it can easily serve as an overnight bag for short excursions on land or sea. It’s perfect for everyday use as well – sturdy enough to hold running shoes or sports equipment, yet collapsible for easy storage.
With our maritime heritage, Wm. J. Mills and Co. has always understood the importance of a sturdy duffel, and has been finding ways to make them better without straying from their classic roots since 1951. As the saying goes, you don’t mess with perfection!
Crafted from durable Sunbrella™ marine canvas, each Mills’ canvas duffel is made by hand, employing lock-stitched seams for superior strength and durability. A heavy duty marine grade zipper insures that the contents stay put, and each duffel includes a matching detachable shoulder-strap. Available in 13 eye-catching colors and 5 sizes, each Mills’ Duffel sports the famous Mills’ Silk Label and a Lifetime Warranty!
