  • As most of you know I closed Archie's Grobags for good a few months ago.
    A lot of people were saying what a shame it was and offering help and advice on how i could avoid this tragedy. As i said to those who i spoke to about it face to face at the time, It's not a tragedy, or a shame...it's a good thing and it happened for a reason.

    The reason is because for the past 7 months I've been working hard to create an entirely new bag company.
    This new project has reignited my love of designing and creating things, something which had slowly disappeared throughout the course of Archie's Grobags.
    Unfortunately it has also forced me to have to sell all my bikes and everything else i owned which had any value, as well as rely on the generosity of my family.

    To cut a long story short, the new company is almost ready to launch.
    I had originally hoped to have a whole range ready for the launch, but I've spent so much time and money so far that I find myself in need of an income again.
    There is currently only 1 bag ready for production, and it's the biggest courier style bag in the range...not ideal for most people, but that's the way it is right now.
    This project was about much more than simply reworking my old designs, but now that the first bag is ready I can go ahead and continue with the rest of the range...something which i wasn't prepared to do until i knew everything was going to work as i hoped on the first bag.

    I don't want to go into too much detail about the new bags online just now until the website is ready to launch...which couldn't happen until i finished this bag and sorted a few more things out.
    I also don't want the new company to have ANY association with Archie's Grobags, which is why I'm not mentioning the name here.
    The new bags will be different in every way and deserve their own identity and the chance to build their own reputation, rather than just riding off the back of another company.

    What this boils down to at the moment is that i need to start earning some money again before i launch the new company officially. So...if anybody is in the market for a BIG courier bag, approx 5Oltrs for the main compartment, that is unlike anything else on the market, get in touch with me and we can meet up so that i can talk you through the new bags finer points.
    I warn you now, they won't be cheap bags, but then that's because they're not 'cheap bags'...If you know what i mean.

    To all those people who have helped me out with this new project i am eternally grateful and will give proper thanks when the time is right.

    All the best!
    Scott
