Versatility

Your Portable Studio

Our toolkits keep your sketching and watercolor tools organized and readily accessible. Vertical pockets securely hold your mark-making tools, while accessory pockets provide a home for smaller items. Each toolkit features two pockets that perfectly fit our pocket-sized paint palettes, and roomy main pockets offer versatile storage for your sketchbook or loose-leaf paper.

Three colorful zippered pouches in red, purple, and blue stacked together. Each pouch features a small black logo with a white design on the front.

Design

Built for Adventure

Custom sewn in Seattle, Washington, our toolkits feature a 1000 denier nylon cover, guaranteed not to rot, mildew or tear. We designed our toolkits to hold up to the rigors of sketching on Arctic sea ice, and the mountains, beaches, and rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. Exterior gear loops and a trusty YKK zipper ensure your toolkit stays close at hand, and your tools are securely stowed. We believe our toolkits should look as good as they perform.
