Each piece is individually handcrafted in our studio using unique, deadstock, or custom-sourced materials. No two bags are exactly alike.

The Story

The Apex Roll-Top is a straightforward, functional utility bag built to handle the elements without using new manufacturing resources. A roll-top design ensures reliable closure by relying on structural folds rather than complex hardware that can wear out over time.

Each bag is handcrafted in small batches in Scotland using weather-resistant waxed cotton, rescued either from the Remake recycling centre in Crieff or from the deadstock of other creative practitioners. Much of this premium cloth originates from Halley Stevensons in Dundee, a mill world-renowned for its heritage weatherproofing. To keep the production entirely circular, the bags are constructed using sturdy hardware sourced secondhand via Vinted and vintage sewing thread passed down through generations.

Perfect For:

  • Separating Gear: Toss in damp swimming costumes or gym gear after a swim to keep the rest of your kit dry.
  • Leaky Toiletries: Contain unexpected spills and bottles safely away from your main luggage.
  • Travel Storage: Separate dirty laundry, mud-caked shoes, or damp towels on the journey home.

Product Care & Ageing

  • Highly durable and made for everyday utility, the waxed cotton naturally develops a beautiful patina over time, showing unique creases and lines based on use. To clean, simply wipe down with a damp cloth or brush off dried mud using cold water only. Do not wash, dry clean, or use detergents.
Design Features

Anchors the roll-top tightly in place, allowing you to compress the bag down to the exact size of your gear.
