Orvis x Col. Littleton No. 1 Grip


Orvis is a family owned and operated business specializing in American made products for the sporting life.  In 1856 Charles Orvis began a mail-order business selling fishing equipment out of Manchester, Vermont.  Today the Orvis company has established a reputation as one of the foremost purveyors of American adventurer equipment.


Colonel Littleton, based in Lynnville, Tennessee, makes unique leather accessories steeped in American tradition.  Orvis has partnered with Colonel Littleton in providing the No. 1 Grip.  The bag is called a 'grip', the name for carry-on bags for train travel during the late nineteenth century.  Expertly crafted and American made, this bag will last a lifetime.




The bag acknowledges its American heritage, made from soft, durable Native American steer hide and vegetable-tanned to give it a rugged, yet sophisticated look.  It also features a solid brass plate which can be monogrammed - score!  It is the perfect travel bag to showcase your style and character.
