Made exclusively for us by a family-run workshop in Virginia, our Market tote is a one-of-a-kind tribute to American heritage. Arriving just in time to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this this stylish bag blends craftsmanship, history, and everyday utility.

Inside, you’ll find a surprise detail: the text of the Declaration of Independence, printed on a soft poly-satin lining. Flip it outward to showcase your patriotic flair—or keep it tucked in as a personal reminder of the values that shaped a nation.

Finished with premium straps and a leather patch made from genuine Italian leather by Conceria Walpier in Tuscany, this tote is both refined and meaningful. In short: a stylish companion with a story worth carrying.

Drafted by 33 year old Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and announced that the 13 American colonies, then at war with Great Britain, regarded themselves as independent states and no longer a part of the British Empire. Instead, they formed a union that would become a new nation: the United States of America.

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America. The Constitution originally consisted of seven Articles. The first three Articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislature, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the executive, consisting of the President; and the judiciary, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts.

In 1933, the chief architect of the National Archives, J. Russell Pope, recommended approval of a two-year contract to hire Barry Faulkner, a noted American muralist, to paint a mural for the Exhibit Hall in the planned Rotunda of the National Archives Building. The result was two large oil-on-canvas murals, each about 14 feet by 37 1/2 feet. One mural honors the signers of the Declaration and the other those who signed the Constitution.
