“I am absolutely delighted with my new Burford messenger bag. Once in a while, if you are lucky, you buy a product which you just know is going to rapidly become one of your favourite possessions and this is just such a case.
I have been looking for a replacement for my previous, much loved and well worn (out) messenger bag for a few weeks. I really couldn’t find one within my price range that fitted the sweet spot between style and functionality especially with respect to durability.
I can across the Cotswold Hipster website via instagram and was attracted to their ethos of vintage style with modern functionality.
After much consideration I decided to order the Burford bag and was very pleased to receive it within 48 hours after a couple of helpful updates to tell me when to expect it.
The bag is everything I had hoped for - lovely quality leather flap, with durable but stylish green weather resistant canvas. Inside, the laptop compartment is an ideal size for my iPad but too small for my chrome book- not a problem in my case as this was bought to enjoy during downtime but if you are purchasing this as a laptop bag it may not be suitable unless you have a really compact laptop, if in doubt check with customer services for dimensions. For me it ideally accommodates the note books, cycling magazine, wallet, phone, kindle and other assorted Knick knacks that I tend to carry round with me during my leisure time.
I look forward to my new bag becoming a faithful companion on my future travels for years to come and would have no hesitation in recommending this product.”
“Delivery was a nightmare thanks to DHL. The bag itself is very similar to my existing bag (and clearly manufactured by the same people) but is much nicer in terms of finish and having a proper carrying handle and back and side pockets. I'm happy!”
