About
Hello, I’m Elise
I am a mountain person who got tired of carrying more than I needed. So I learned to sew, first a stuff sack, then a tarp, then a pack that fits me and weighs less than my lunch. I sew in a wooden loft with a window onto the hills, and I test everything on the same few ridges I have walked for years.
The packs I make are for me and my friends. What I sell is the part that is useful to you: the patterns I have drawn and tested, the guides to cutting and sewing light fabric, and two video courses for people who want to make their own gear and trust it on a trail.

If you enjoy what I make, there are a few ways to help me keep making it.

A short letter every other Wednesday from the loft: one piece of gear, one lesson and one thing to try.
