For Sale: Black Rainbow Project 'Violet' hip pouches

stop listening to fucking slow motion house music and make the prototype!

can someone swap all his theo parrish records for some gabba please?

To give people an idea on pricing...
A PAC ultimate is still almost £3OO in Brick lane bikes. It features all plastic buckles and all it's materials and labour costs are at much lower dollar prices. It is also a lot quicker to make, and slightly smaller...But is pretty much the market leader in my opinion in terms of construction and features {present company excepted of course] ;]

A Black Rainbow Project 'RED' messenger bag is £34O...features Austrian Cobra buckles which cost about £2O EACH, of which there are many on each bag, all metal hardwear, VERY expensive military spec fabrics, which have shipping costs even higher than the cost of the fabrics themselves as they all come from the US...Webbing again comes from the US and has ridiculous shipping costs and high minimum order quantities, Main strap webbing, cordura, thread, and velcro are the only things which i can get in the UK, and are also very expensive.
Once you add the VAT, which our lovely government kindly adds to both the materials AND shipping costs and all that Jazz to all the imported stuff, the cost of the raw materials ends up higher than most companies finished bags retail prices.
Then add the best part of a weeks worth of my time to make each bag, and i'm earning less than most kids get in pocket money.

If we didn't do it for God...who would we do it for eh? :]

Out of respect it's Gil Scott Heron today!

I just finished designing a new product last week actually, but i'm holding off on production till i can place another buckle order.

Ahh...just seen the list aversion post!

What's the best way to get my sweaty little mitts on one of these pouches then?

How do I keep missing these!

Any update on the ten for this week?

You have to keep poping back every 5 mins like you are seriously OCD, then you will have one eventually!! Or you can simply let luck decides like I did.

or just subscribe :)

I went through so many samples and companies for months to try and source as much from the UK as possible and it was useless.
The service from companies here was pretty terrible in some cases, like they had no interest in selling their products to you.
Even standard fabrics like cordura are difficult to find from uk companies....unless you want to buy by the yard at ridiculous prices.
Specialist fabrics just don't seem to be made in the UK by anybody.

Same with truck tarp...nobody could offer the quality of fabric or service I received from US companies.
Same with the labels even. UK companies pricing was ridiculous, even without the difference in exchange rates.

or just subscribe :)

True, why didn't I think of that? Maybe I am just very OCD...

Scott, I will PM you today about the big bag, just need to go for a supre fast ride in a bit and if I am not dead after than then I would have enough courage to pay you the big bucks.

I am definitely making another batch of the VIOLET pouches this week, but won't be able to start them until the weekend as i have a bag to finish first.

As people are getting a little frustrated I will open a list this time. It's less of a problem if i know i'm definitely going straight onto them next....but please don't start PMing me on Saturday morning asking when they'll be ready. :]
