We at Peg and Awl, lovers of newness and change, keep going back to the past for a new, new old. Life is mysterious this way.

This collection contains faded quilts, old tools, tins, the feeling of a hot summer porch a hundred years ago, paired with military bits from local soldiers. It’s not the past itself we are longing for it is the overlap of time. And it consumes us.

Bookbinding Pouches!

This is our first filled pouch containing relics of the past – refreshed – alongside our objects, new and classic! We love incorporating old stuff with the new, both found and made. This includes a sweetie pouch made from an old, very well-worn quilt, which I imagine on hot-summer-porch sleepovers atop the family that constructed it and maybe traded some scrap with the neighbours for the variety of colour and patterns it contains.

Eleven new and vintage treasures, cozily contained.
Each pouch and its contents are their own Dusty Summer colour story.

Collections Explained

If you’ve been following along with us for a while, you may have noticed that not all launches are the same – some products stay for years, some fly off the shelves, and others fall somewhere in between. Here are some explanations to distinguish between our various collection types.

Standard Collections: Everything in our standard collections will be ongoing until we decide to stop making them! They may include some vintage or antique materials, (ex. journal fabric lining) but these details will vary subtly to ensure their ongoingness.

Small Batch Collections: Limited batches incorporating vintage or antique materials where larger batches can be made, but are not infinite! The quantity ranges, but we aim for minimum of 100 in these collections.

Of a Kind Collections: Limited batches incorporating vintage or antique materials. Each object will be limited from 1–20 items depending upon our findings.
