Bespoke Bags Built Around Your Requirements
Sometimes, off-the-shelf simply isn't enough.
If you need a bag designed for a specific environment, purpose or piece of equipment, we'll design and make it around your exact requirements.
We work with businesses, teams and individuals across a wide range of industries and applications. You might be kitting out an offshore or industrial team, developing a new product that needs a bag built to your exact spec, equipping a sports club or organisation, or simply trying to find a solution for equipment that nothing on the market quite fits. Whatever the challenge, if the right bag doesn't exist yet, we'll make it.
We manufacture rugged, weatherproof bags in-house from Montrose on Scotland's North East coast, drawing on the same harsh-conditions expertise trusted offshore through our parent company, Montrose Rope & Sail.
When Custom Design is the Right Fit
Sometimes an off-the-shelf bag just doesn't cut it. Whether you need to securely transport highly sensitive equipment, fit a bag into a very specific tight space, or want a completely unique branded product for your team, we can build it.
- You need to securely transport highly specific or sensitive equipment.
- You require a bag to fit into tight or uniquely shaped storage spaces.
- You need specialist compartments, padding, or tool rolls built-in.
- You want a completely custom branded product in your corporate colours.

How Much Does Bespoke Bag Design Cost?
Every custom project starts with a design and development phase to make sure the final bag is practical, durable, and built around your exact requirements.
Design and concept work starts from £250 + VAT.
This includes:
- understanding your requirements
- concept and layout development
- advice on materials and features
- ongoing communication throughout the process
Once the design is agreed, we’ll provide clear pricing for:
- prototypes or samples (if required)
- production unit costs
- batch pricing for repeat orders
Examples of Custom Bag Projects
We create bespoke bags for a wide range of applications, including:
