About the Bags
Where and when can I get a custom bag?
From January I’ll be travelling the length of the United Kingdom on my bicycle, making custom bikepacking bags for people along the way.
I’ll be starting in Devon and making my way up to the Scottish Highlands.
Bags cost £75 each and you can create your own personalised design.
Cities and towns I plan on stopping at are:
- Bristol – 19th – 25th January
- Kendal – Late January
- Glasgow – Late January
- Edinburgh – Early February
- Aviemore – Late February
- Inverness – Early March
What sizes are the bags?
Gravel, hardtail, cargobike, tandem, full squish…
All bikes are different and I can make a frame bag that will precisely fit your bike and needs.
What’s the environmental impact?
- The bags are produced using a climate neutral fabric which contain 100% post consumer recycled fibres.
- The delivery miles will be hard earned, but entirely zero carbon.
- The bags are made using high quality threads and fabrics with a focus on durability. These bags are built to last.
If these bags get more people exploring and connecting with wild places, we’re winning.
Custom Made
We’ll have an in-person conversation about how you want to use your frame bag.
What’s more, the delivery will be free and pedal-powered.
Durable
All frame bags are made with X-PAC RX30 Climate Neutral Fabric and YKK Aquaguard zips.
Alpkit charge a bomb for this.
Built for Adventure
No unnecessary bells and whistles, these are functional bags made to be lightweight, simple to use with few moving parts.
MY SEWING STORY
Sewing the Seeds
Five years ago I attempted to sew my first backpack on my Granny’s sewing machine. The first backpack was pretty messy. It had many mistakes, but it was a backpack, it went on your back and things could go inside it. It was green and wonderful and I loved it. The next day I took it on a 50km fast-packing adventure across Snowdonia and surprisingly, it held up.
Fast forward to today and I’ve put thousands of kilometres into backpacks, bikepacking bags, bucket hats… you name it. I’ll be bringing a semi-industrial sewing machine with me on this journey. It’s not lightweight, but it makes quality stitches and it’s what needed to make high quality, durable bags.
