Film Dedication to Craft

30 September, 2016

Back and forth, forth and back. Wainwright caught the spirit of the land, absorbed it through his footsteps and translated it with his pen. He stitched together waypoints, mapping paths for a hundred generations hence, interpreting the wonder he found. Wainwright wove a record of singular devotion, a unique dedication to craft and his Lakeland home. 7 books, 13 years. 214 fells.

For many, he will forever reside in the silent depths of Innominate Tarn, at the summit of Haystacks, a life writ large across the fells. Millican celebrates the unusual power of this commitment in a unique collaboration – A limited edition, hand-made backpack. Made in the UK.

Inspired by A.Wainwright – the legendary Lakeland guidebook creator – this limited edition, classic 'A' shape backpack is hand-made in the UK and built to withstand a life on the fells.

Weatherproof and hardwearing. From old tracks north to Dundee, Halley Stevensons 12oz canvas forms the outer fabric, lined inside with Harris Tweed from the Isle of Lewis. Hand-finished, veg-tanned leather finds its way from Whitehouse Cox, in central England. All gathered and assembled, by hand, in Sheffield – a bag crafted from these Great British Isles. Each batch consists of 100 bags, hand-numbered under the grab handle.
