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 Mate is a boxier style bag so designed for bulkier items.

It will fit smaller tablets like the iPad Mini (in a case) up to 24cm x 16cm.

Other than this it is perfect for a DSLR camera (and extra lens), a Keep Cup, several pairs of glasses and even big enough to fit a bottle of wine.

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 Mate ...

The bags a great size, lovely to look at and practical!

Website was great, loved being able to view designs and I received the bag two business days after ordering.

- Su, Ballarat

This new bag has several improvements which I like, such as the slightly larger (can take two pairs of glasses etc) without being weighed down and too heavy.

It also has the black strip at the top and I found that is where my last bag wore out first.

I also appreciate the internal pockets and the addition of the extra pocket on the front.

It's attractive as well as useful and you don't usually get that combination in bags.

From these remarks you can see I am a convert to your bags and market them wherever I go.

- Sue, Fitzroy North

Thank you so much for the fantastic bag!

I received my order soon after it was placed I was very impressed!

The bag is wonderful, beautifully made and exactly what I was after!

Excellent system and great online shopping experience!

Lifetime Guarantee

This is the distillation of my approach to design, materials and making developed over more than twenty years of sewing and selling bags.

Each and every bag is personally sewn in my studio with quality materials, components and construction techniques selected for durability, repairability and sustainability.

Quite simply I guarantee your bag is made for many many years of everyday use.

If in the unlikely event that any stitching or hardware should fail they'll be repaired free for life.

I respectfully acknowledge the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri peoples of Melbourne, the traditional custodians of this beautiful land on which I am lucky enough to live, work and create.
