This backpack is a RARE family heirloom, purchased directly FROM THE FARM!

My mother began collecting these in the late 1990s/early 2000s when MP was run out of Robin & John’s kitchen. Mom and Dad would call up Robin & John to chat about the materials, findings, etc. - each was personally purchased from them and each carries its own story.

Most of these items have been displayed as art pieces throughout their home over the years and, unless otherwise noted, are in like-new condition. 

Our family wanted to offer these up to share the love and artistry my mom so treasured, as well as contribute to a good cause along the way. 

This item has been authenticated by MP Trade Admin - further photos and details are available upon request.
