We’re on the cutting edge...
...of leather & canvas.
We’re not big on fast fashion at Chapman. So we've taken our time to make our backpack. Handmade in British canvas and Italian leather, it's big enough for on the move but small enough to be chic. We know this because it was test worn by its designer Jess, in the nightclubs of Hamburg. And we know this because we found her passport in the secret pocket!Handcrafted In Carlisle, England

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.
