October 11, 2010 Jcrew… I wouldn’t call it an obsession
For the last few years I have been completly impressed by Jcrew’s direction. It’s focus on vintage inspired clothing and accessories and it’s partnernerships with some of the most well known and prestiges companies continue to inspire me.
Here’s a glmpse into Jcrew’s current parnerships:

One of Jcrew’s newest partners is a company called C.R. Daniels.

C.R. Daniels has a line of bags made from thick sturdy canvas. They use the same canvas for their DANDUX line of clothing carts. You know those carts you see at hotels filled with dirty towels.
Jcrew had C.R. Daniels create a bag for them inspired by on of their most famous bags, it was called a coal bag, pictured here:
I wanted to get the original bag so I contacted C.R. Daniels and they sent me the bag, it was about $35 all together with shipping expenses – a great deal considering the Jcrew one was over $100.
It’s a great bag, stands up by itself and will age very well. The only downfall is that the handles aren’t big enough for over-the-shoulder carrying, but it’s still a fabulous bag!
