Shaggy Inspiration, W&D x 1964 Journal
From the start, Wilson & Dorset shaggy bags have been a place to pause, unwind, and dive into a book—or a unique magazine.
Nathan Weathington, publisher and co-founder of 1964, lived at Dublin Bay in Wānaka, where the idea for Wilson & Dorset originally began. Amanda approached Nathan to test the durability of the original Shaggy Bag.
“You’ve met my sons, right?!? They’re wild. They destroy stuff,” Nathan responded. They were perfect for Amanda’s intense-use trial. Even after a decade of the hardest wear and tear, the original Shaggy Bag is still going strong, having outlasted even the pine furniture the boys somehow were able to destroy.
The original Shaggy Bag was also a place for inspiration, where Nathan’s concept for 1964: mountain culture / aotearoa was conceived.
“Life was getting faster, busier, flashier. Sitting in the Shaggy Bags, I just liked the idea of slowing down, reading something cover to cover. And now, five years later we are heading into our 20th issue, and thousands of pages have been proofed in our Shaggy Bag in front of the fire. It’s the perfect place to read 1964.”
