I started Knox Mtn Bags in the spring of 2010 as a way to make some income while I was looking for a new job. At first the product line was made up of tote bags, wallets, purses, and pouches, which I sold at the local farmer’s market on Saturdays and in an online shop. After I introduced chalk bags in 2013, I soon decided to pare the line down to that one product and focus on providing a wide variety of prints. What began as a side project has now turned into a full-time job. Over the years I have found the best sources for high-quality fabrics, webbing, and hardware to make a durable, light-weight bag that closes securely and opens easily. The variety of prints in stock is always changing as fabrics sell out and new fabrics become available, so check back often!
Knox Mtn chalk bags are made with care in my solar-powered home workshop in Orange, VT.
