December 6, 2014, we borrowed a friend’s cargo bike and rode up the L.A. River Trail from the office in Signal Hill (a enclave municipality surrounded by Long Beach) to Victor Textiles in Downtown Los Angeles, on 8th Street in the Fashion District, to find a roll of canvas for the first musette bags. It was a wild adventurous day: beers at Angel City Brewery in the Arts District and tequila shots in the back office at Victor’s.
