Celebrating 40 years of Chapman

Bags that tell our story

For four decades now, we’ve been handcrafting bags built to weather all. Like in all of life’s adventures, it’s important to find a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come. And where you’re going.

Timeless since 1984

Chapman Made

Handcrafted In Carlisle

Our workshop sits on Tannery Road in Carlisle - a name that hints at the rich heritage of leather working in this quiet corner of Cumbria. That legacy is woven into everything we do. Craftsmanship takes time. It takes years to master the skills needed to create something truly timeless. And the result? A piece you don’t grow tired of something you grow attached to. You use it, you rely on it, and you come to love it more with every passing year.
