Thank You for Joining Us: Celebrating Tradition and How Tuluk’s Duffel Bag Launch is Supporting Future Makers
I just wanted to thank everyone for their support and for coming along to our launch last night, hosted by the wonderful Arienas Collective.
For those who couldn’t make it, here’s a brief summary of my talk, highlighting why we are so passionate about making traditional skills an aspirational career choice:
The work you see around you is made by the most remarkable designer makers. Each piece unique and designed from a brief that we provided. Each designer maker interpreting the stories of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Leonardo da Vinci through their unique discipline.
Each piece, made by hand by both established artisans and graduates coming into the world of commercial enterprise. These collections gave each of our designer makers a chance to showcase the process of design and the value and skills required.
Tuluk evolved from this experience with many of the designer makers now running successful businesses and practices.
However, traditional skills are at risk—underfunded, undervalued and often invisible in today’s fast-paced, high-tech world. Tuluk exists to change this. Our mission is to make craftsmanship aspirational and to ensure it becomes a realistic and valued vocation for future generations.
Tuluk is a social enterprise funding artisan apprenticeships in Scotland.
How we do this?
We sell duffel bags. Each made by hand in Dunfermline by the incredible KC Manufacturing, also a social enterprise, using heavy waxed cotton waste from Dundee. With every purchase and pre-order of the Tuluk duffel bag and at our event tonight, know you’re directly funding an artisan apprenticeship, you’re supporting the future of craft and investing in something truly unique.
Why?
Traditional crafts evolved from necessity, born out of a deep connection to the land and local resources. These skills not only fuelled economies but also anchored cultural identities, giving people a sense of pride and place.
Through craft, we develop a keen sense of initiative and an unwavering drive to innovate and push boundaries. This dedication sparks curiosity, fuels creativity, and cultivates critical thinking.
This is not a bag… it funds Scottish artisans and apprentices
