This is what they mean by bag for life. Amazing quality, colour and it feels secure on my back.
Love it.

Wanted to buy a rucksack made in the U.K to support the local economy and have a positive impact on the environment.

The Gouthwaite Backpack seemed to be perfect for my daily commutes and I've not been disappointed!

I love the design, simple and elegant, it's super confortable, and the materials are of good quality.

In one word; it's perfect.

My son was very happy with the bag, which I bought as a Xmas present. The bag seems very robust.

I'd been searching for an industrial, heavy duty back pack for a while; not exactly the wilds, but walking to and from work in Edinburgh is very much an all-weather affair and not every bag is up to the task. Equally, not every company has the same standards and attitude towards quality. I bought the bag a few months ago, and waited to write the review until I had used it on the daily. Not disappointed, and I doubt anyone who buys one, will be. Great product.

I needed a good-looking, high-quality backpack to use for commuting to work and for shorter trips. I could have picked a more generic option from your usual suspects, but I wanted something with a little bit of style, a personal touch, and a sustainability ethos. The Bearmade bag fit the bill perfectly. It is gorgeous, functions exactly how I want, is incredibly sturdy and well-made, and has a lovely story of sourcing local materials, and supporting local craftspeople. Great choice for a backpack!

Chosen by an older customer for its simple design and smaller size. Enough space for purse , mask phone, sunglasses and a drink/ snack. Quality superb - I love it and my favourite burnt orange colour. Great service too.

All good - my sister who this purchase was for has submitted a review.

My brother treated 4 of us to Bearmade bags this Christmas and we love them. The quality is excellent with superb attention to detail. Add to this the huge amount of thought that goes into manufacturing them in an extremely environmentally-friendly way AND a lifetime guarantee and you have a product that will surpass expectations. Many thanks to all.

I bought the backpack for my partner and we are both currently very happy with it so far. The quality of the bag is excellent. In addition to the quality of the bags, it’s the small details which elevates the purchase of the product, from the tag printed on wildflower seed card, to the handwritten note and the name of the person who made the bag. Thank you for a lovely purchasing to product experience.

Appears very well made.
Not yet used but hoping it is as robust as it appears on first impression.

Initial impression is of a very well made article.
Not had much use yet so hopefully it will be as robust as it looks.

Really nicely designed bag, strong, durable and perfect size.

well made bag, looks great, delivered quickly

Gorgeous bag, beautifully packed. Bought as a gift for my gorgeous soon to be daughter in law and I just know she’ll love it. Thank you 🙏

This is my second bag from BearMade - I already have a backpack, which I love. I needed something smaller for daily Tube trips etc, to carry my purse/phone/keys, and this is perfect. It's sturdy, stylish, and well-made, and I'm super pleased with it!
