Drop in!
Inspired by the bag the British Paras carried their Sten gun and ammo in, we’ve created an overnight bag with more than enough load space for a hopefully more casual and convivial trip than the boys in red berets had in mind.
Uncompromisingly hard wearing and practical, the Airborne Overnighter’s versatile design means it can be carried by hand or, by adjusting the handles, as a backpack. However, we no longer offer the option of dangling it from the leg as specified by the Paras...we have yet to have a customer arrive by parachute!

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.
