Drift - Premium multipurpose creatives tool bag with 27 pockets (18 external + 9 internal) and wide central space for Tool Rack and creative supplies. Shoulder strap included. This warm off-white canvas bag designed in Byron Bay for knitters, crocheters, illustrators, sewers, make-up artists, designers and all kinds of makers.

ABOUT THE DRIFT ARTIST BAG What is the Drift artist bag? Drift is a clean, minimalist off-white canvas tool bag designed for creative makers who value simplicity, clarity, and complete organisation. Featuring 27 total pockets (18 external + 9 exclusive internal compartments), this multi-pocket artist bag brings order, efficiency, and a gallery-like aesthetic to your creative practice.

Inspired by the pristine white sands and peaceful mornings at Byron Bay, Drift was designed in Byron Bay by a working ceramicist to solve everyday studio challenges: finding tools instantly, protecting delicate equipment, and transporting supplies effortlessly.

INNOVATIVE DUAL-POCKET SYSTEM How does the pocket organisation work? Our unique dual-pocket system sets Drift apart from standard pottery bags and generic artist totes: • 18 External Pockets: Quick-access outer pockets engineered for tools you reach for repeatedly—pottery trimming tools, paintbrushes, pencils, and sculpting instruments. • 9 Exclusive Internal Compartments: Unlike competing tool bags, our taller internal compartments remain open at the bottom to provide true vertical storage. Tools stand upright and fully visible. Perfect for wooden ribs, long brushes, rolling pins, or holding containers filled with small tools.

GENEROUS CENTRAL SPACE What fits inside the central compartment? The wide, open-top central compartment provides instant visual access—no zippers to fumble with when your hands are covered in clay, paint, or glaze. Fits:

  • Our custom wooden pottery Tool Rack

  • Tablets (up to 11") and Laptops (up to 13")

  • A4 sketchbooks and large notebooks

  • Small wedging boards, clay blocks, and water bottles

DURABLE CANVAS CONSTRUCTION What materials is the bag made of? Crafted from robust, pre-washed heavy-duty canvas (85% cotton, 15% polyester), Drift handles heavy studio and field work with ease. Featuring reinforced seams and double-stitching at key stress points, it stands upright on a wide, stable base. Pre-washed canvas ensures a soft feel from day one with minimal shrinkage.

Fits palettes, paint tubes, and sketchbooks. • Fiber Arts & Knitting: Ideal project bag for yarn balls, crochet hooks, knitting needles, and embroidery hoops. • Professional & Daily Use: Excellent for makeup artists, calligraphers, educators, or as a highly organised everyday tote.

DESIGNED IN BYRON BAY Created after two years of testing with working artists, Drift captures the calm, mindful spirit of Byron Bay's coastal landscape. Every purchase directly supports Australian design and the Northern Rivers creative community.

CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS How do you clean the canvas bag? Spot clean with a damp cloth for clay dust or paint splatters. You can hand wash it in cold water or use a 15-minute short machine wash cycle on cold. Always hang to dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry or bleach.

Wow so excited! I received my hold it all bag and my tool holder super quickly and it’s incredibly useful. I have another container under the tool holder in the middle space and I haven’t even filled all the pockets yet. So easy to transport my gear to the studio and back. Thank you😁
