The canvas tote bag has a dead simple design. While that simplicity makes it the best option for tasks like transporting flat stuff like records or books, the bag isn't suited for changing uses. The CarryAll from Portland's Blank Brand is a modified tote that uses clever strap design and durable fabric to convert from a tote to a briefcase or a messenger bag without any clips or knots. 

Blank Brand started in 2004 when designer Matt Geiger made a bag for his wife as a gift. Since then the company has expanded to his full-time gig, with all products manufactured in Portland, OR in a factory with the delightful name of Spooltown

Back CarryAll on Kickstarter for rewards including Blank Brand wallets, and a fresh donut delivery straight from Portland.
