Ah right, well fair play to you and good luck with the venture!

Thank you! Its going really really well so far, I'll be up for some trade shows in a couple of weeks so I hope i get a late night city mash in

I'm sorry, but you have to appreciate you are aiming at a very particular market. A market, if you take a look, that isn't big on logos. Maybe it's a bit rude, but I also think it's a legit point. If you're going to ask for 150 quid, it needs to be a design with wide appeal. It may be your brands logo, but surely there are ways to make it more subtle? I for one dislike anything with large logos and branding, and others have said the same. Everyone here is just trying to be constructive with their feedback.

Im used to working with a small market (obviously, its not my only product, I sell jackets, shirts, hoods)
My demographic is niche, and I guess I have to appreciate that this kind of bold design will divide, I disagree this needs wide appeal, there are lots of brands that do subtle and reasonable priced. I could not sell 1000s of these a month, I would actually struggle if I had to sell hundreds. So if your interest is something bold, reasonably unique, and heavily functional / longlasting. this is the product for you. If not.... then it isnt.

Thanks for the valuable feedback guys, I'll get some more photos uploaded tonight.

Yep, would in no way consider laying 150 quid out for one of those, I just can't see anything important regarding it's functionality or what makes this better than other bags at that kind of price. You tell me it's there, but all I see is a silly design.

I think "all I see is a silly design" is a bit needlessly rude.

yeah, its important in the design and usefulness of the bag where the inside pockets are, how they are fastened etc. I personally use my bag every day so its important for everything to be in the right place. And also if you are asking someone to drop 150 quid its only fair to let them know what they are buying before they buy,

I'll add more photos to my website. Its clear that people want more photos.

This is handmade, it has a lifetime replacement and repair, the fit is better than the other bag I was initially going to buy at this price, which was the Metropolis.

It's also stateside so will be victim to import duty.

I admit I'm biased, but I would much rather the subtlety and UK sewing of the Restrap messenger...
The bag is produced in the USA I am based in Brighton in the UK - as for the subtlety thats not my thing...heaps of brands do that, this is for a different demographic.
I understand the comment about skulls being a bit Camden, but its been the logo of my brand for 3 years now.

Looks very good.

Personally, I want a lot of photos and spec details when I'm buying stuff. That buckle looks cool - cobra?

I always think one needs photos of every feature in order to decide whether to buy.

Hi, yeah it's a cobra lock, I found that was pretty much the best solution, at first I had an airline style buckle but it easily got caught and undid, not cool.

Inside there is a free padded tool wrap, a zipped pocket with key holder. 3 smaller pockets about the height of a box pen and 2,3, 4 inch respectively

I will take some more photos today and upload them. People on LFGSS really seem to like photos!!

As its handmade colour choices are flexible

Cheers putting the photo up

no photo's of inside? Any pockets or padding?

There are pockets inside and a removal roll up section that also has additional storage

It's also possible to have a led strip woven across the whole back.
Adds visibility for negligible weight and fuss

" ... either way, this is designed to ride well on your back, no matter how much or how little you’re carrying."

would be nice to see a picture of the bag's back then ...

The back isn't very interesting, it's the way the straps interact which makes it comfortable

Well the styling is to fit my taste and my companies branding. The graphics are grey on black and black on black - so it's quite subtle and the red fixings can also be black too

After umming and ah-ing over the Chrome metropolis I just thought it had a few shortcomings at its pricepoint. Im lucky enough to own my own clothing company and whilst doing SEO I stumbled across a similarly named business to my own. Turns out they make courier bags. A collaboration ensued. And here is the result

I think it outclasses most in its price bracket (£150 mark)

I hope you guys like it.

No, I'm staying working in Brighton, but just want to move to the 'burbs with the kids!

Still stalking for bargains!?

Brilliant, if its that really horrendous bianchi blue/green colour Id be keen :-)

Hiya, Lewis is totally fine and for the right bike I'd travel by train for the swap. What is the bike?

I live in Brighton

I need to swap out my Urban Thrash Machine – for a longer distance bike due to mu commute just gaining 10 miles each way – Road or hybrid considered.
Im 5’8
Something Like an Allez would be ideal. Prefer a geared bike to single speed, both considered. This Kona is a GREAT Polo bike but luckily has seen no action.

Email Jordan.chaos@gmail.com

Brighton and surrounding areas only please, I cant drive - will take a train to London Victoria for the right trade

EDIT - Cash offer £300? - is still in store for £600 now
