Designer's notes

Handmade to order in Britain

Manufacturing in Britain is expensive, but we believe in supporting local makers and craftspersons. That's why each of our packs is cut and sewn from start to finish in the UK. Every bag is then hand signed by its maker.

Excellent well made and robust bag

Already in daily use, nice to have something so well put together and NO PLASTIC. I will never need another bag. You can get quite a lot into it and I used it for an overnight trip this week!

Old fashioned quality

There are so many rucksacks available now, well designed, with lots of features, but the Winnats Roll Top is made at another level of quality – great materials, nice simple design. I'm delighted. I especially like the neat stash pocket.
