MArking 40 years

Two limited editions. Just forty of each.

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. 

That’s why we’ve designed and crafted two limited edition bags, to remember the past and symbolise journeys to come. Just forty of each of them will leave our Carlisle workshop, one for each year we’ve been doing what we love.

Meet, Tote.

Our exquisite handcrafted canvas Tote, adorned with Italian leather handles, effortlessly suits any occasion. From boardroom meetings to weekend getaways, its dynamic elegance and robust design make it a reliable companion for life's diverse adventures. Only 40 limited edition Tote bags available.

Meet, Rambler.

Our stylish and versatile Rambler Bag features a zipped main compartment and fits smaller laptops, making it ideal for everyday and business use. With other generous pockets inside, your belongings will stay organised at every occasion. Plus, its rear strap conveniently fits most wheeled luggage handles. Only 40 limited edition Rambler bags available.

A principle isn’t a principle until it costs you money.

Chapman Promise

Crafted to the highest standards

Every Chapman bag that leaves our workshop is built to last a lifetime of adventures. There are two reasons for that. One, we use only the highest quality materials. Two, we assemble them by hand with unwavering precision, using time-proof techniques.

Each bag undergoes a thorough inspection by our expert quality controller, Natalie. She meticulously checks for any imperfections, ensuring every stitch is flawless and that every Chapman bag meets our rigorous quality standards before it reaches you.
