This is a lovely Ultimate rucksack made for a customer that asked for a bag big enough for her dryrobe, wetsuit, towel, gloves, boots and other bits and bats. The fabric is Fryetts Jungle Monkey in matt grey oilcloth. I often get asked to make bags using bespoke fabrics, I always aim to please. Hopefully I will soon get a photo of it in situ. Message me with any requests.

This lovely comment from a customer last week got me thinking about why I started making my bags...
Hi Sharon
We are very excited to receive them !! My swim buddy and I have treated ourselves to the seagull bags as we call ourselves the Seagals!
Thank you
Best wishes

Each one is unique, not mass produced. Why be boring when you can have a bag that reflects a little of who you are.
