Great stuff

Loved it so much I bought two ❤️💪🏻✅💯❤️

This vest is just perfect when I am out and about in my garden. In the kitchen garden, the pockets are deep enough to contain many seed packets, my labels and a pencil! I also always loose my secateurs! Now I have them just to hand when I need them and no chance of finding them in the compost heap years later. This is a practical piece of kit, looks good too so you can’t go wrong.

Well made, perfect for travelling light fishing and a great match with the belt.

I have previously bought this bag for myself to use when out dog walking and it's absolutely ideal, fitting in everything you need for a stress free walking adventure close to home.

This particular purchase was for my sister for her birthday, knowing she has been jealous of my bag it was such an easy decision and purchase to make, knowing it'll last her a lifetime! She was so excited to receive it and has been using it daily since. Thanks Wildish team!

Bought this bag as a replacement for my osprey and i wanted to buy a uk made bag. this bag is fantastic quality and we went over to the shop and spoke to the owners who were lovely and a very genuine pair. would highly recommend this bag or any of the other bags they make. granted they aren’t the cheapest but you get what you pay for and its always going to be a little more expensive being made in the uk by 2 people who only make 25 bags a week

I needed a work tote, but wanted one that is from natural materials and definitely PFAS-free. And as with my backpack search, the wildish tote was the answer :) The Pateley tote is not only very good looking, but has great capacity and the short and long carry handles are practical. Plus the backpack carry option! All in all a great addition to my Wildish bag collection and the quality is amazing, as always. Thank you for making these amazing bags, and please continue the good work :)

I wish I had discovered this bag sooner! Great quality and functional for everyday use. It has a number of compartments inside which are handy. This bag has quickly become my go-to and was absolutely worth the investment.

Hello, the wallet is amazing thanks you for your work

Fantastic casual bag

I am very happy with my new Gouthwaite Backpack - 13-15L MKII. It feels very well made and functional, as well as beautiful! I also find the straps to be very comfortable, even with heavy loads. Highly recommended!

My review is for the Gouthwaite 13-15l Mark I, as I wanted to be sure of the long-time durability of the bag. I have had mine for 3 years now and it is the best backpack I have ever had: I use it daily for commuting and can fit my laptop, lunch, books, umbrella, water bottle and jumper in with still some space. I also take it as an overnight bag if packing lightly. It's comfortable and looks great (I have the gorgeous Rust colour) and I love the entire ethos behind Wildish - knowing that my bag is sustainably and fairly made is really wonderful. The material is lovely: I've waterproofed it once so far with the spray and it keeps even the heavy rain out. I can't recommend this highly enough - the only fiddly bit for me with the Mark I is the internal water bottle pocket, so in my opinion the Mark II with the external pocket looks like even more of an upgrade. I spent a long time initially hesitating about whether this bag would be right for me and I haven't regretted it for a second. A brilliant backpack!

A beautiful waxes canvas set of straps, and no plastic within them - but tough and goes perfectly with my matching orange Yorvik bag. They clip on and off easily and feel so solid with buttons instead of zips that can compromise and wear down quicker. It is so rare to find well-crafted and non-plastic addition to straps, for heavier loads - and knowing that the money spent goes to the development of Wildwish workshops, and the illuminating human beings that are Oz and Nell. These straps are robust and comfortable as the material moulds, like the bag, in shape to your own shoulders. I love these so much that I end up keeping them on all the time - and I find they help with easing friction which can occur if one is a cyclist like me: as the bag can sway from side to side, as any backpack can, when cycling. I haven't tested how quickly these dry during a rainshower, (in order to not have wet shoulders for a long time) but i'm sure living in Scotland and cycling daily will test this theory soon. The only other thing I am curious about, which I haven't yet tested, is putting the removable sternum/chest strap around them. I find the straps do not slip much, but it depends on the clothing material being worn next to them, too.

Superb quality

You can feel the love and quality of craftsmanship oozing from this backpack. The choice of materials is perfect, and thus will last for years, but the bag isn’t overly heavy given the hardcore thick duty cotton and buckle. This size is perfect for my use as a daily work bag, you wouldn’t want anything bigger, unless you’re taking a change of clothes - but even then it may be big enough. You could possibly get away using it for an overnight stop, but for any longer trips you would be better off with the bigger pack.
It has only one space apart from a little slip pocket which I like but this something you should be aware of. If you are prone to losing items at the bottom of your bags, do consider the lighter coloured pack making for better visibility within.
All in all, a wonderfully minimalist pack which is very capable, and flies under the radar. 5 star product.
