a quick and dirty pic of the bag open......sorry for the camera pic scott, will re-do.

ohhh if you havent seen the large as large as it will go


or as small as it will go



i like the style wayne

how much is the rent on that puppy -

it does hold rather a lot doesn't it [or smeear is a midget]

short arse

oi!!!!!


im a strapping 6 foot i'll have you know

do look like im having a wee in the second pic though

is that a common occurrence? because that corner of the room, looks darker the the rest :P

Scott - Do the ninja hip pouches come with a waist strap or belt loops?

both i think?

i love the poster/advert scott....it looks wicked!

they come with belt loops to allow you to use your own belt,and a waist strap if you prefer to be able to remove it quicker...and the waist strap can be removed and clipped to an alternative pair of D-rings to change it into a shoulder bag.....it's like the swiss army knife of the hip bag world!

I think you can improve it. Think about who you're trying to sell it to. You're asking people to spend £160 on a bag - that's fine, things are worth whatever people are willing to pay for it, but the people who'll buy it will undoubatably be quite intelligent people who make a lot of money. You really have to work at persuading people that it's worth spending the extra cash with you..

Look at the alternatives - there are similar sized bags out there for cheaper. You've should think, when somebody is looking to buy a bag, what makes yours a cut above the rest?

What has your bag got that others don't?
A) Very customizable
B) One man company
C) Made in the UK
D) Supporting local business, environmental friendly materials, etc etc...

Use these to your advantage.

im sure they are things that scott has taken into consideration...but they are obviously important factors

.

this isn't the website LPG....it's just a flyer....
i'm asking nothing,people come to me when they want a bag,and when the website is up and running,they will be able to see exactly how much bag that £160 will get them....and should they choose to compare features and prices with other companies,they will see just what good value they are.
My bags won't just be bought by the highly paid,they will be used day in and day out by cycle couriers,commuters,anybody who needs a great quality bag that will last them a long time and allow them to carry everything they need to as comfortably as possible.
there may well be cheaper bags of the same size out there,but they won't have the strength,features,and quality materials found in an Archie's Grobag.

I am as tight as a cannels ass in a sandstorm, but even I know that if you want something that is good and will last a long time and do a good job it cost. 160 quid for a big bag does not seem expensive for hand made high quality goods.

i feel like challenging you!!
but i won't

i bid you much success ..

have at thee knave

bring it
[/img]

ok lets be honest now, its all about the bike jousting
did anyone else see it on The IT Crowd
pls say someone did

(the search on you tube begins)

...And so another innocent thread begins to lose its grip on its subject matter......:)

yeah wayne....tutt!! :P

archie's growbags are the best

is this better?

so did you hear about those bags that guy off that forum makes?

hehehe

i've heard about them, yeah.

seem a bit pricey at £160, i wonder why they're worth the extra cash...?

na, get a timbuk

extra cash, ive been wondering what you mean by this
surely a rival pac is around £200, i was looking at one just tother day.
it wasnt built half as hard and it had not stayed waterproof

£160 for scott gets you a bag thats better IMO

i think he was being funny

Agreed.

You can get brand new Royal Mail bags for £25 and a plethora of other cheap messenger bags. Obviously they aren't as good but I agree with lpg you need to sell the extras/customisation/quality/features of these bags more.

Also I'm not trying to be a cunt, just trying to provide constructive criticism. I'm not a designer just pointing out stuff that I noticed. If your bags are as good as smear says then it doesn't seem right that you'd make small mistakes on your flyer. Does that make sense?

IMAGE REMOVED

I hope you go through the website with a finer tooth comb. After all it's your shop front so to speak. (book by its cover etc...)

I didn't spell check it. I'm guessing you did.

Yep - the flyer doesn't scream 'Custom Handmade Bags' like they should. People shouldn't have to read it to know what it's trying to tell say (well, maybe they should but hey people are lazy).

ok...'constructive' critcism would have been to whisper to me any faults that you just 'happened' to notice....to plaster a full size picture covered in scribbles of red like an angry teacher scribbling on a childs homework is not helpful to me....
I make and sell bags....if seeing a yellow line a micron out,or the shade of yellow hurts your eyes,then you have my humble apology.
thanks.

wayne, yer sacked...:)
