I made a prototype Roll-Top Bag for Spring Break and some of you have been asking about it. Well... it’s finally in the shop!
.
This is the most versatile unisex bag in the line up. It can be a tote, messenger bag or backpack and carry-on travel bag (with added options).
.
I’m very happy about this one. I’ve been working on this idea on and off for at least 2 years. I’ll tell you more about the my thinking on the design and development of this one.
Great custom colour combination for Abiel in Hidalgo, Texas.

It’s the start of warm weather in Ottawa and we took the Bromptons out for our first real ride.
.
I’m also testing the Medium Zipper Tote on the front carrier rack.
.
It also happens to be the start of Tulip Festival here. The story is that the Canadian gov't sheltered the Dutch royal family during WWII. Princess Margaret was born here, so every year the Dutch govt sends thousands of tulip bulbs to Ottawa as a form of gratitude. It's planted all along the Rideau Canal, Commissioners Park and Parliament.
Beautiful colours a customer selected for his 65% mechanical keyboard case. #mccustomcases

Brown with olive green bottom and handle. Brown English bridle leather.
The 40% mechanical keyboard sleeve is the smallest one I make. These keyboards are so small and specialized. I admire people who can do all their work on one.
I spent the last few months designing for the Brompton folding bike. I’m making the existing bags Brompton compatible and there will be a few new ones.
.
So far, the front carrier bag release is available in the shop.

I’m very excited about this next phase as I get to make things for a bike which I think is fantastic. Still handbuilt in London, UK in limited quantities.
Happy Easter Weekend. Here are a couple of custom colour mechanical keyboard sleeves that remind me of Spring. I’m working on a few new ideas and getting ready to ride my Brompton (folding bike).

Relaxing on Sunday. My friend Karen, in Vancouver, sent me this photo of her custom Medium Zipper Tote. She loves orange and it goes great with charcoal grey.
.
She told me she hangs her bag as home decor when not using it. Love her slate grey walls with that chair.

This is a new unisex design. I had Christian test it out and overall, I’m quite happy with it. This will be a roll-top tote messenger, where you can customize it with backpack straps, luggage straps, and it will be Brompton compatible 😊 More soon.
