John Cho Moore

TEXT by Celine MacKay | PHOTOGRAPHS by John Cho Moore makes canvas and bamboo bags. His creative process defines the objects he creates. With a craftsman's respect for his materials, John returns to the essentials of design with his beautifully handmade bamboo and canvas bags.

A Note: I apologize for the lack of posting on our beautiful new blog! I'm so excited about it yet I find myself with very little time to find good material - and you deserve nothing but the best. In case you're wondering what exactly I've been so busy with, I have one word for you... PRINT!! My task list is long but slowly each day an item is checked off, bringing a print version of Pure Green Magazine that much closer to your mailbox. I'll be posting updates as we near that time, in the meantime, keep posted here on the PGM blog.

This morning a very good friend and contributor to the magazine, Conrad Buck, sent me an email with a link to this video, featuing John Cho Moore. I knew right away that I must share! I'm very attracted to companies and craftsmen that foster a connection between the materials they use and the product they make. Watching this video you really get a sense for the time and energy that was put into it, making it all the more precious and valuable. Not to mention the renewable resources that are used. John's bags will be available via his website soon. Keep posted.
