Mix-n-match straps

All bags have modular straps so they can be personalised and allow your bag to be worn as a shoulderbag and backpack.

Every detail counts

The Little Mate is a boxier style bag so designed for smaller, bulkier items.

It will fit smaller tablets like the iPad Mini up to 20cm x 16cm.

Other than this it is perfect for a DSLR camera, a Keep Cup, several pairs of glasses and other everyday essentials.

Every bag now comes with a unique serial number and QR code digitally printed on a label inside the front pocket.

This allows you to view details about your bag such as the date it was made, a constantly updating cost-per-day and photos of your bag being made.

It also means if your bag is ever misplaced it is as easy as possible for someone to organise it's return through a form on the bags archive page.

Your bag is made to last - and a big part of this durability comes from using the highest quality zips.

The main zipper is a dual YKK #8 coil zipper, while all pockets use a slightly lighter weight YKK #5 zipper (shown)

As these are used in most quality bags this also means the sliders are easy to source anywhere in the world should they ever need to be replaced.

What people are saying about their Little Mate ...

Thank you so much for your special care and input.

I love my custom made Spacecraft design print bag.

My headphones fit comfortably, it's superbly finished and you have made the access to the bag easy and logical with the "right over shoulder" orientation.

- Karen, Warnambool

We were very impressed with the prompt and excellent service.

I bought one of your bags from the Portrait Gallery in Canberra and was so pleased with it that I have purchased another and a friend who was taken with the one I had bought ordered the other.

- Janet, Sydney

I have a Mattt bag in almost every size and a sleeve on my iPad.

The fabrics are gorgeous and they wear so well.

I love that I know exactly where my phone, wallet, and keys are no matter which bag I choose for the day.
