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

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.
As these are the standard used in all quality bags this also means should the sliders ever need to be replaced due to wear they are easy parts to source no matter where you are in the world.
Your bag uses modular, mix-n-match straps so you can configure your bag exactly how you like.
These are attached with custom aluminium hardware developed in-house (and lasercut locally) as there was nothing available that did exactly what was needed.
The straps are available in a range of colours and widths so you can personalise your bag now, or in the coming years.
What people are saying about their Significant Other ...
Matt talked me through each of his products, and helped me decide which one might be best suited to my needs.
Matt talked me through each of his products, and helped me decide which one might be best suited to my needs.
Matt also took great care to show me all the features, and explain how they can be customised.
I like that my bag is personalised, but also that Matt makes sure each bag is up to his high standards of quality.

I just wanted to tell you I've had my mattt shoulder bag for over four years.
I just wanted to tell you I've had my mattt shoulder bag for over four years.
It served as my laptop bag which I carried to work everyday and has since doubled as my nappy bag.
It still looks great and shows no signs of it's heavy use.
My only complaint is I have no excuse to buy a new one!

It's the best solution I've found yet to the problem of what to use for carry-on baggage on planes.

I am the proud owner of three of mattt's excellent bags.
All the bags are durable, functional, and fashionable. When one bag did show signs of wear after a number of years, Matt was kind enough to repair it free of charge.
In short, I reckon mattt makes great bags!

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.
