Product Spotlight - Brady Bags

A Brady bag truly is a bag for life; handmade by incredibly skilled artisans, each bag is a piece of Brady's extensive history. You can often find us admiring the bags in our shops, so much so we've taken a vote on our favourite styles and thought we'd share our thoughts!

Fishing Bag

Brady’s Fishing bag, or ‘Ariel trout’, after the company’s river naming heritage, has become an icon amongst their range of sporting bags. Originally designed in 1928, the fishing bag is synonymous with quality, function and durability, being handmade using traditional manual techniques by craftsman with exceptional experience and skill.

Crafted from Brady’s signature triple-layered Italian Drill Drop fabric, known for its exceptional durability, the fishing bag boasts two pleated front pockets, brass side rings, English bridle leather accessories, and an adjustable webbing shoulder strap for comfort.

The cotton canvas fabric is laminated,  triple layered with a polyurethane membrane sandwiched between the twill to weatherproof the body of the bag, while the bridle leather is vegetable tanned - making for a unique colouring from one bag to another. 

This combination of high quality materials, exemplary craftsmanship and practical design makes for a perfect everyday bag.  A Brady bag makes for a life long companion, with many bags being passed down through generations of families, continuing to build on Brady’s incredible heritage.

Folio Bag

Revived from the archives of Brady, the Folio bag, or as it was originally known, ‘Norfolk Niton’ has been sold exclusively by Labour and Wait for over 20 years,  celebrated for its simple style and capability for modern application. Often referred to as ‘The Artist’s Folio’ the bags’ square form allows for sizeable folders, papers, laptops or even vinyls without compromising the contents integrity.

Crafted from Brady’s signature triple-layered Italian Drill Drop fabric, known for its exceptional durability, the folio bag boasts one large square compartment, English bridle leather accessories, and an adjustable webbing shoulder strap for comfort. The folio is also fitted with three brass press studs, intended to house Brady’s detachable pocket, allowing for the option of organisation in its own arranged compartments and divisions.

Of course, we do love our full range of Brady Bags, each as functionally handsome as the next. Do pop into our shops to take a look at the many other styles we carry.
