No thanks

Much smaller than it appears in the photos. Strap was flimsy and too narrow to be anything but uncomfortable. Zip didn’t look very durable either. Sent it straight back and found they don’t even cover postage on returns. Still waiting for my refund. 😔

All of our products are made with YKK zippers which are the best on the market and all of our products have a resonable warranty on them so please don't worry about the bag failing on you. We are also happy to repair any products at no cost to yourself other than the postage, should the bag be damaged in anyway.

If you do shop with us again, I would recommend checking out the specifications on the product page as we always provide the dimensions of our products there. So that our customer can get a good sense of the products size and shape before they buy. I would also recommend taking a look at our returns policy available on our website.

Hope this helps. Have a lovely day!

All the best,

The best bag

Great bag for anything really. Groceries, cycling, to work (16 inch laptop). Holds good in the rain. I love it

It's great!

Really happy with my purchase! Love that it's made in the UK. The adjustable strap is super convenient, and there’s plenty of space for my essentials - it fits my 13-inch MacBook Air, some notebooks, and a water bottle perfectly. Also love the little pocket where I store my keys and AirPods. That said, I do wish the straps were a bit thicker; the thin design can get uncomfortable after a while. It’d also be great if you guys offered brighter, pastel-like colours. Overall though, I'm quite happy, 9.5/10

Geat find

I love this bag! I've been looking for a bag like this for a long time, and it was a great find. This bag fits loads in and the cubes are perfect for organisation.

Fantastic!

I bought the water-resistant messenger bag in black, and I'm suuuper happy with it! It's the perfect size for daily carry, and is thoughtfully made. It's my new favourite EDC bag, especially now during colder/wetter months, as during summer I was carrying a cotton crossbody tote. The strap is sturdy and comfortable with a nice feel to it, the zipper is YKK and can be "locked" using the strap's G-hook, which is a nice touch. The inside pocket is the perfect size for an iPhone or tissues, and the inside hook can be used to attach a carabiner/keys. Overall the bag is 10/10, I like it more than my more expensive sling from Cote & Ciel haha. The only downside I can mention is that it took a few days for the smell of the black dye (or waterproofing?) to disappear, because my bag was very recently made before being shipped, but this is not a problem for me at all. I also appreciate that it's not an another thing made in some Chinese sweatshop!

Reproofable

This product can be reproofed using a suitable spray in order to make the product water resistant again and ensure it's longevity. We reccomend doing this every few months or after any particularly heavy downpours.

Water Resistant

Water-resistant means that the material or product can resist the penetration of water to some degree, but not entirely. It can withstand light rain or water splashes for a short time, but prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain can seep through the material.

FAQs

Waxed cotton is the original performance fabric and involves treating cotton with a wax coating for water repellency. Waxes and oils are naturally occurring substances found in leaves, bean/seed coverings, animal furs and feathers. It is nature's protection against the elements.
Waxed garments can be reproofed regularly, making them exceptionally sustainable compared to synthetic fabrics that often end up in landfills. Unlike PFC chemistry, which provides hydrophobic effects synthetically, waxes offer a natural barrier, reducing environmental impact.
The wax application processes are low-impact, minimizing environmental harm compared to conventional manufacturing methods. The waxes are fully biodegradable and PFC-free, underlining our commitment to eco-friendly practices.

Water-resistant and waterproof are terms used to describe how well a material or product can resist water. The main difference between the two is the level of protection they offer against water.

Water-resistant means that the material or product can resist the penetration of water to some degree, but not entirely. It can withstand light rain or water splashes for a short time, but prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain can seep through the material and damage the contents of the item.

Waterproof, on the other hand, means that the material or product is entirely impervious to water and will not allow any water to penetrate. It is designed to withstand heavy rain, submersion in water, or other harsh weather conditions without allowing any water to seep through.
