Time honoured fashion
This bag is Chapman. Equally at home on the river bank (Test or Thames) or in town (Kelso or Kensington) the Troutbeck’s design is proof of the adage ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’One of our original designs, it has set our standard for longevity and classic style ever since. The waterproof lining option is still the lining of choice for fishing. If work interrupts your piscatorial reverie you can switch to the laptop sleeve at the click of few brass poppers.
And the bellows pockets give it remarkable load space and versatility. Everyone should have one, and fortunately for us individualists, everyone doesn’t!

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

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.
