Designer's notes

Handmade in Britain

We believe in supporting British makers and craftspersons. That's why each of our Scout packs is cut and sewn from start to finish in Britain.

On the inside

Internal phone and credit card pouches to keep those valuables close, plus a key ring to clip your keys to. Finished with a storm flap and hardy Japanese-made YKK zip.

However you wear it

The Scout pack features an adjustable strap, meaning it can be worn across the front, back and – of course – 90’s style across the waist.

Weatherproof waxed organic cotton

Our custom Halley Stevenson’s waxed organic cotton is highly weatherproof, to keep your valuables nice n’ dry on those rainy days. The dry, impregnated waxed finish doesn’t crack or transfer onto other garments, yet it ages beautifully.

Stainless steel hardware

Simple buckle and loop system, just like our backpacks. Our corrosion resistant custom stainless steel buckles are laser cut and polished in Britain, threaded on tough cotton webbing.

Good size for day trips without a backpack. Well made. Strap could be longer but very nice.

Perfect companion for bike trips

Really well designed and constructed cross body bag. Totally love the fabric and all the attention to detail. Should also mention how impressed I was with the care that was taken with the delivery - thank you Mark!

Great bag

Really a great bag, but I have a few niggles. The compartment for the phone is very tight and I struggle every time I get the phone in or out. Also the stainless steel buckle, although aesthetically pleasing, is a bit heavy.

Still the overall design is great and I love the fact that it is made in the UK with locally produced components and organic materials.

I am using it every day.
