Nice, but should think about left handed people

The bag is really nice, but it would be perfect if there was one for left handed people. If we use it on our left side the zip is in our back, not in the front.

Perfect minimalist messenger bag

I really love this bag, it’s perfect for my use - which is for my laptop, water bottle, book to go to the office taking very crowded tube lines. I love the minimalist look, the material feels good and I appreciate how light it is. You do need a padded sleeve to protect a laptop but I don’t think the bag needs padding as it can be kept very small and light when not carrying a laptop. My very small nitpicks would be that the small pocket inside should have a zip and ideally be stitched on the other side of the bag - when my laptop is in the bag and I have something in this pocket it kind of bulges out and is not too comfortable. Definitely no deal breaker, I highly recommend this bag if you want something small, light and useful. Handmade in Manchester is also really cool.

Fantastic bag

I love the size and the shape of the bag. Can take anything with me all the time, amazing!

Such a comfortable bag!

Love my bag, it just sits so comfortably and offers loads of space for drinks bottles, umberellas etc. One suggestion, can we have multi colours organiser bags for inside please so we can identify what’s in each bag? Thanks

Great !

Superbly finished, this bag is the perfect size for any small outing (laptop pullover, water bottle...). The only drawback for me is the hook, which often comes off halfway, so I often have to be vigilant and hang it up before it falls off.

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.

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.

Free From Forever Chemicals

Forever chemicals, also known as PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), are synthetic compounds commonly used in waterproofing that persist indefinitely in the environment.
While they're effective at repelling water, these chemicals accumulate in soil, water systems, and living organisms, causing long-term environmental damage and potential health risks.

FAQs

Waxed cotton offers several unique advantages: it's biodegradable, repairable, ages beautifully with a unique patina, and can be maintained indefinitely through reproofing. Unlike synthetic materials that might end up in landfills when their waterproofing fails, waxed cotton gets better with age and proper care.

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.
