At one point, a few years ago, I thought I might have a go at setting up a distribution company. I bought in some samples from brands I was looking at, one of which was Seagull, and now I've given up on that idea I've got some a few of those samples left over.
All of the bags are new and unused - we literally bought them to check the stitching and get our friends opinions on them. We liked them (and the fact that most of the samples are with friends is testament to that), but we decided that if we couldn't compete on price with people like Chrome it wasn't worth it - in fact, I think that I'm selling all of these bags at less than trade.
The bags are:
Small Messenger (blue), approx. 17" x 11". Beautifully made, and a lovely deep blue in the flesh. Lots and lots of pockets, plus things like a key loop on the inside. For the people that still do single strap bags, this would be ideal for the office.

Medium Co-Go (Boris Bike) Messenger. Approx. 21" x 14", and a deep British Racing Green (the photo makes it look lighter). Less by way of internal pockets than the blue bag, but it does have an extra bit on the bag that goes over the front bit on a Boris bike. This sleeve on the back means that if you use Boris bikes for commuting, you don't have to worry about the bag on your back making you sweaty.
Boris bike or not, still a nice bag. A good "standard" sized messenger bag - it's basically the same size as the Timbuk2 that I used from about 1996 to 2013.

Orange/grey Co-Go satchel type bag. The smallest bag - about 13" x 10". One large internal pocket and a pocket on each side, plus the Boris bike sleeve on the back - good for a packed lunch and an iPad (other tablets are available).
Not much else to say really - it's great for a Boris Bike commuter who needs to carry a little bit of stuff with them each day, but doesn't want to be carrying an 80% empty bag.
The medium green Boris Bike messenger and orange/grey Boris Bike, uh, satchel are still available.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
