Designed with British-dyed tough cotton canvas, full-grain Italian vegetable-tanned leather, and durable British parachute webbing – The Airborne Overnighter draws inspiration from the bags once carried by British Paratroopers for their Sten guns and ammo. Made for modern journeys far less perilous but equally demanding, it combines rugged durability with versatile functionality.

Made for overnight trips, whether urban adventures or countryside escapes, its practical design lets you carry it by hand or adjust the handles to wear it as a backpack.

  • 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.

  • SHIPPING

    At Chapman Bags, we handcraft all our products with care and attention to detail. As we intentionally hold low volumes of finished stock, most orders are made to order, allowing us to offer unique, high-quality items made just for you.

    In-Stock Items:

    If your item is in stock and you place an order Monday to Thursday before 1pm, we will ship it the following day.
    Orders placed after 1pm Thursday through Sunday will be processed on Monday for next-day delivery.
    Made-to-Order or Personalised Items:

    Items that are not in stock, made to order, or personalised can take up to 10 working days to ship. We will keep you updated throughout the process.
    Delivery Time:

    UK – Free next day delivery when placing an order before 1pm (Monday – Thursday)
    EU - Most deliveries take 2-3 working days to arrive from dispatch (cost calculated at checkout)
    All other Countries items should arrive within a week of dispatch (cost calculated at checkout)


    Returns

    We’ll refund any purchase within 30 days of purchase as long as your purchase is returned to us in its original sale condition and original packaging.

    We are unable to refund purchases of bespoke or personalised items.

    However, in the very unlikely event that there is a manufacturing defect, and your bag lets you and us down, we will of course repair or replace the item with no questions asked. There is no time limit on this promise.

  • Our workshop sits on Tannery Road in Carlisle, a name that hints at the rich heritage of leatherworking in this quiet corner of Cumbria. That legacy is woven into everything we do.

    Craftsmanship takes time. It takes years to master the skills needed to create something truly timeless. And the result? A piece you don’t grow tired of, something you grow attached to. You use it, you rely on it, and you come to love it more with every passing year.
