Millican bags - Harry the Gladstone bag, built for the passion of travel

Tuesday, 26 March 2013

Cocoa (14y 9m) enjoys his master's new Millican Harry Gladstone bag

I came across Millican bags last year, attracted by -

  • The fact that Millican is based in a part of the country I visit frequently and love, the Lake District,
  • The website is superb,
  • The bags look good and are cunningly and comprehensively well-designed, and
  • They are clear about their design influences and philosophy,
  • Everything is manufactured sustainably and using local skills and expertise.

I was lucky enough to be sent a Harry the Gladstone bag recently for review. I was genuinely astonished by the quality of the manufacture and the obvious thought that had gone into the design - pockets everywhere, flaps, zips, poppers - all exactly where needed and fulfilling vital functions. I can't wait to use it.

I will write a proper review when I've used it properly over the next few weeks. Meanwhile, enjoy this video (keep an eye on the map!) See Millican's website for more information.


This product was sent to me for review in accordance with my review policy here.

    I love the British manufacturers you feature, the vast majority of which were previously unknown to me. They stand for quality over quantity and I think perhaps that might becoming more important to consumers.
