Chapman Bags

Chapman Bags is a well established company that has diversified away from sporting bags to produce a range of highly covetable handcrafted handbags and luggage that work equally well in the city or country. Not confined to rural greens and browns, bags are available in urban colours too, mustard yellow, red, Antibes green and French pink, all with fabulous contrasting lining.

BAGS THAT LAST

The range of canvas bags and luggage is made exclusively in the UK in its Carlisle workshop, using high quality materials. Take note that 80% of the cost of the bag is down to materials used. It's also worth taking a look at the manufacturing process of each bag to see the quality of the components and the high standard of workmanship. These are bags that will last. They will survive the rigours of airports, the rush hour on the train. If your bag does suffer, customers can send in bags for repair.

READY-MADE & BESPOKE

Shop either by collection or product. We advise first time visitors to get an overview of the range by browsing the former. Divided into categories for travel, city and country, you will find weekend holdalls, which are flexible and lightweight, bags for laptops and papers, totes and shopping bags, picnic bags, urban backpacks for city slickers. The collection also includes wallets, washbags, handy travel wallets and Car-go, luggage for the car with a useful boot bag and holdall. The company also offers a bespoke service.

BREADTH OF CHOICE

Bags for adventurers have lots of pockets and of course sporting bags. This section includes cartridge belts, game bags, gun slings, fly wallets and a bass bag, that keeps fish cool after catching. Each product has a number of images giving close ups of the detail and quality of workmanship involved in producing every Chapman Bag. Images of the Lake District add extra inspiration too.

Beauty is in the detail with Chapman Bags and it has very successfully combined a contemporary approach to English style and quality in its collection.
