Messenger Bags


A bag to swing over your shoulder when traversing the rapids or the subway system—this waxed canvas will hold up against the spray from a passing car, or from a crashing waterfall. And where we’re from, it’s not unheard of to encounter both in the same day. Built by hand, made in USA.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We wanted to take a moment to reflect on a topic that Frost River holds near and dear to our hearts. This is sustainability of course! We pride ourselves on leaving as little of a carbon footprint as possible while still producing high quality products.

The Handcrafted Hub of Frost River... The Store

The Frost River Trading Co. at 1910 West Superior Street in Duluth, Minnesota is the hub of all things Frost River. First and foremost, it’s a store. It's THE Store for everything Frost River related! It's where you can find all the goods we make and some additional items that we think you'll like from other American makers. Of course, the waxed canvas packs, bags, and accessories are made right here, by us, upstairs and downstairs.
