Legacy
To many people, the true legacy of Mismo is a cotton canvas bag. When launching the first fabric bags in 2008, we used a particular tight-woven cotton canvas originally developed for the Italian military. In combination with enduring bridle leather and solid brass hardware, it was a feature that helped bring Mismo bags to international attention.

Structure, tactility and natural materials are at the heart of the Legacy Collection

Canvas fabrics in select colors form the backbone of the Legacy Collection

Hard-wearing cotton canvas
Army/Dark brown
PERMANENT
A mainstay of the Mismo collection, the Army Cotton Canvas was the first material we used when introducing bags combining fabric and leather in collaboration with the Copenhagen concept store Storm back in 2008. With its earthy tones of grey, green and brown the refined, structured canvas evokes English aristocracy and wildlife hunting within the legacy collection. We’ve paired this rich fabric with a dark brown bridle leather, which makes it classy and basically works with everything.

Tight-woven cotton canvas in that deep navy blue that only the Italians seem to get right

The same 100% cotton canvas as the Army colorway, the Midnight blue canvas trimmed with cuoio bridle leather evokes a certain sartorial elegance

Cotton & nylon blended canvas
Coal/Black
PERMANENT
Set on a cotton warp and nylon weft, the fabric offers the best of both worlds: the tactility of the cotton and the durability of the nylon. Add to that a soft backing, which gives the fabric the perfect weight to ensure a strong and natural draping. The hue has great depth and won’t fade much over time due to the nylon. We believe this is the ideal black fabric for luggage and will be surprised if it doesn’t become a true classic. We at least intend to keep it.

Cotton & nylon blended canvas
Khaki/Black
PERMANENT
Khaki canvas paired with black bridle leather is a combination not previously explored in the Legacy Collection. It’s a combo that keeps growing on us. The earthly tones of the khaki canvas with a hint of green and brown paired with raven black bridle leather create a masculine yet very classic contrast, drawing references to vintage army uniforms. Beautifully held together by the gold lustre of the solid brass accessories. A new classic is born.

Hard-wearing cotton canvas
Army/Cuoio
PERMANENT
The army canvas paired with dark brown leather is a well-known classic within the collection. However, over the years we’ve more than once also offered army canvas in combination with vivid tabac-hued cuoio bridle leather. Surprisingly, it completely changes the look and feel of the bag when presented with dark brown or cuoio leather trim. We actually lean towards army/cuoio being our favourite. Rich and characteristic, it offers a sense of authenticity and old-world charm that is hard to replicate among any other colour combination. Casual yet sophisticated, the army cotton canvas with its earthy tones of grey, green and brown is a true wardrobe staple.
