How do you improve on a great idea like a weekend away?
Well, we’ve been handcrafting weekender bags since Chapman opened for business, so you could say that this newest addition to our range has been about 30 years in the making.
Perfecting timeless designs demands combining tradition with innovation. So we have added a lap top sleeve and waterproof shoe pocket to our signature combination of canvas and leather to create a bag of both elegance and utility.
We are so confident of its qualities that we think it will be a long time before you will need or want another bag for a long weekend … and it will be a long time before we design a better one.

We make Bags for Life
Making products that stand the test of time is a key part of our sustainability thinking at Chapman. You don’t get bored of something timeless, in fact you love it so much you to want to keep using it. And when your bag needs a bit more TLC than that? Well if we can, we’ll mend your bag for you, so it can go one being timeless for years to come. That’s the kind of recycling we like to see.
As craftspeople we never stop learning, we are always honing our skills and improving our products, and in the same way, we will continually look for more sustainable materials and ways of working so that we can tread more lightly in our world.

Craftsmanship
Our workshop is on Tannery Road in Carlisle, which is a clue to the long tradition of leather work in this small corner of Cumbria.
And tradition is the key to our craft skills.
Just as it takes time to create something timeless it takes time to learn the skills to do so.
