Material:

This is a very high quality reusable shopping bag, made by the same people who make the Waitrose bags, exclusively for Nelson & Forbes. It is brand new with tags (tag not shown in the photo) and measures approximately 40cm long, 35cm high and 17cm deep.

We created this bag for our customers to carry their sculptures home, so it is exceptionally high quality in terms of material and construction, it has very comfortable handles and it is very, very strong.

The bag was carefully designed to be one that our customers would enjoy using. The distressed Union Jack was drawn up by our company designer and has been dyed into the fine Juco panel on one side of the bag. The gusset Jute panels have been dyed black and have been checked for colour fastness in rain and on white sofas and they are absolutely fine.

These bags have slightly longer handles than you usually find (60cm), allowing you to comfortably carry it on your shoulder, even when bundled up in a winter coat. You can also hold it down by your side and it won't drag along the floor. Apparently this accounts for its popularity with men.

The bag bears a very discreet Nelson & Forbes embroidered label on one side and makes an excellent school bag, gift bag, shopping tote bag, kit bag or even Christmas stocking.

One happy wife

Overall Satisfaction

My husband bought this for me as a surprise for use as a new school bag, is is large enough to fit in all my folders and the strap is long enough to easily fit over my shoulder. It is made of very strong material and feels like it should last a very long time. The design is bright and colourful and looks good. Very happy with the surprise! Review by Roach / (Posted on 24/01/2017)

A quality English product that really does seem to be a "bag for life"

Overall Satisfaction

Far far better than any other bag 'for life' that I've ever bought, been given or used and still unmarked after 6 months of constant use. Certainly strong enough for bronze sculpture, and thereby more than able to handle whatever load you throw at it. Mine has so far carried bottles, bricks, slates, potatoes, a pile of vinyl LPs, five huge coffee table art books and my baby daughter, who enjoys having the odd ride in it. And if I trust the most precious thing in the world to me in it, I reckon your shopping is pretty much guaranteed to be safe. A huge credit to Nelson & Forbes' whole British design-led ethos, and furthermore a reflection of the quality and attention to detail they apply to everything else they produce. Very highly recommended. Review by JiminyQuippet / (Posted on 24/01/2017)

More than a shopper!

Overall Satisfaction

This is a very strong sturdy shopper! I bought this bag in the summer of 2012 to show support for the Olympics. I love the faded flag as it makes it look very vintage! I have used it nearly everyday for work since! It's great to get everything in and the shopping on the way home as I walk everywhere! Review by gail / (Posted on 24/01/2017)
