Chapman Bags

Chapman Bags Timeless luxury British bags, luggage & accessories. Made for a life well-travelled. Handcrafted in England since 1984. Please call us beforehand if possible.

We aim to offer our customers the opportunity to own and wear an authentic British made piece of classic style and lasting quality at an affordable price. Our origins lie in making traditional fishing and shooting bags, which we still make using the same methods and materials. This heritage permeates our entire product range. Our bags are made to last, using the highest quality materials obtainabl

e. We believe that many people care about where, how, by whom and in what conditions their products are made. We also like to deal with our customers directly on a day to day basis and to offer the best customer service possible, including a renewals and repairs service. For all these reasons and more, we are committed to making our bags in England in our own workshops, which are located in our old tannery building in Tannery Road, Carlisle, Cumbria. You can speak to us during normal office hours by calling +44 (0)1228 514514 and do feel free to visit if you are in the area. We have a factory shop.

If you could only choose two...
At the Highland Show, we challenged the Chapman team to choose just two bags from the collection. A surprisingly difficult task.

Sean picked the Airborne Overnighter and The Maximalist Briefcase, Holly chose the Bucket Bag and Gardening Bag, and Laura selected the Ladies Backpack and Tote. Swipe through to see their choices and the reasons behind them. Which two would make your shortlist? πŸ‘‡

A few moments from a fantastic couple of days at The Royal Highland Show.

From meeting familiar faces to introducing Chapman to new customers, it was a pleasure to share our collection of British-made bags and accessories in Edinburgh.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by.

Come with us as we visit Massy-Birch & Fortis Clothing at The Royal Highland Show to see our bags on display. While we’re there, the team picks out their favourite pieces from their collections.

Like us, both brands are committed to making products the right way, handcrafting their goods here in the UK with a focus on quality, durability and craftsmanship. We’re proud to have Chapman bags alongside their collections, so be sure to check them out.

When the Scottish weather lends a hand with product testing…

After a day of relentless rain at the Highland Show, water had pooled on the Land Rover awning, creating the perfect opportunity to put our waterproof bags to the test.

Safe to say, the bags did exactly what they were designed to do.

Built for British weather. Made to be used.

A little look at the fabulous hand-painted keyrings created by our talented leather painter, Jayne, for the Highland Show.

Each one is individually painted with incredible attention to detail, making every piece unique. Which is your favourite? πŸŽ¨πŸ„πŸ‘

On Nature Photography Day, we're reflecting on the landscapes that inspire us every day.

Based in the heart of Cumbria and only a short drive from the Lake District, we're incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by some of Britain's most breathtaking scenery. It's a setting that continues to shape our appreciation for craftsmanship, adventure, and the great outdoors.

Designed with exploration in mind, our bags are made to accompany every walk, wander, and journey into nature.
