The Chapman Reiver Leather Despatch Bag Brown is by Chapman Bags, the Carlisle-based English maker that has been hand-cutting and stitching leather and waxed canvas bags since 1984. Originally a military equipment supplier, Chapman now makes country and town bags using the same construction methods — saddle-stitched, brass-fitted, and built for decades rather than seasons.
A despatch bag in the classic country style — flap-over closure with leather straps and brass buckles, generous main compartment, and a shoulder strap for over-the-shoulder carry. Cut from waxed canvas with bridle-leather trim, or from full leather depending on the model.
This is the brown colourway.
Care: Wipe the waxed canvas with a damp cloth when dirty. Reproof the canvas every 2-3 years with a quality wax dressing. The bridle leather develops patina naturally — wipe clean and condition with a leather cream once or twice a year.
