Limited production
We feel responsible for everything we put out into the world. To make sure we keep our impact as low as possible we only make 25 bags a week.
Materials
Our hardwearing, weatherproof, GOTS certified organic dry-waxed cotton uses 88% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton. It also uses zero toxic chemicals in its production.
This bag is almost plastic-free (we use a recycled polyester thread)
Offsetting
BearReMade
Our bags are made to last a lifetime, but we get that not everyone wants to keep something that long.
To avoid your bag ending up in the back of the closet, or worse, the bin, we will take your bag back in exchange for BearMade credit (10% of the bags original value).
We will then recycle the parts from that bag and make it into something new.

Let customers speak for us
from 380 reviewsThis thing feels premium, close attention to every detail. Feels like something I’ll use for decades. I’m 6’ 1” and 190lbs and it fits perfectly. Very comfy to wear cycling, skating, rollerblading…
I was so pleased to find this wonderful bag, I had been searching for a bag for over 3 years and had been disappointed with the other options from other retailers.
I was on holiday and the hosts suggested to visit your amazing shop, it was really well put together and stood out from the other shops on the high street. The warm welcome on each time I visited really made me feel at home and it isn't alway the experience I receive. I loved how knowledgeable and passionate everyone was. The range of other products really complemented the bags and other branded products.
I loved finding out about the history of the bags and love how well designed they are. I wish I could have purchased the tote bag but had to make a choice, which wasn't easy! I have worked in retail most of my life and it is so refreshing to find a special shop like yours especially in the current retail climate.
I really love the eco friendly solution, if the bag gets warn out or damaged it can be sent back to be repaired. This is such a rare quality that other manufacturers often don't care about. I love the colour and detailing especially knowing who made my bag which is a really important issue for me.
Next time I visit I will be back hopefully to purchase the tote bag particularly if it was made in a selection of colour options. Thanks for making such a wonderful company lifestyle shop.
The little pouch is perfect for keeping holiday essentials handy - passport, ‘phone, and driver’s license, exactly what I wanted it to do :-) thank you so much for the amazing product and super-efficient service.
Bought this for a camera case, well made and sturdy and just the right size
Very durable old school backpack. I use mine daily and its an extremely high quality product. A wonderful company and received my backpack with a lovely handwritten thank you note. I recommend this company highly.
Comfortable padded straps for carrying heavy loads. Excellent eco friendly ethos from a wonderful company.
Excellent eco friendly product. Wonderful company and fast delivery.
I've only had this about a month but already done a couple of trips with it. The quality is fantastic and it's nice to have natural materials instead of plastic! The finish is great and it feels sturdy and built to last. I wish more businesses had the same ethos - the world would be a better place.
I purchased this bag to use when I was volunteering at a festival for Oxfam. I was very aware that I would need a bag that I could wear at all times that could contain my valuables. Having just got back from said festival I can confirm that the bag was perfect - held all that I needed at all times - purse, phone, keys, hand sanitizer, loo paper (!!). It was comfortable to wear for many hours at a time and wiped down well to remove any marks. Perfect for my needs!
Excellent product. Perfect size for my daily coffee.
I love this wallet! Perfect size to hold cards / cash / id card plus a little more. It fits in my jacket pocket perfectly, and the inner pocket is high enough for whatever goes in there to not come out into the main space when the zip is closed. The dry-waxed canvas is awesome too, the right blend of soft but tough. Definitely found a key piece of edc!

Excellent bowl that I use daily. I put it in my rucksack and take it to work to eat my lunch from. Wonderful customer service and all the best to Wildish Store for their eco friendly products.
If you are looking for a bag that is homegrown, of extremely high quality and construction that will take you back to backpacks of yester year then you would do well to choose the Jorvik bag by Bearmade.
Size wise the Jorvik is perfect for a days trip or hike and for a weekend away with a capacity of 25 to 30 litres. It dosnt have a number of unnecessary pockets but what it does have are well thought out and executed and perfectly sufficient. I have not been caught out in the rain just yet with the bag, but I have every faith in the waxed cotton from which the Jorvik is constructed to keep your contents safe from the elements.
They have made use of the highly regarded Cobra brand buckles on the bag which aside from being pretty bomb proof adds to the retro appeal of the Jorvik.
I did a fair bit of research on bags before settling on this one. I am a sucker for retro stuff.....I carry my Photography gear in Billingham bags...another English company who makes highly appealing old fashioned looking camera bags.....so I knew the overall look I was after and the Bearmade Jorvik fitted the bill perfectly.
It's the sort of bag that harks bag to something used by Enid Blytons Famous Five when they are out on an adventure or a picnic with Boiled Eggs and Lashings of Ginger Beer.
It's not a particularly technical bag...but then that is not what I wanted either. The webbing shoulder straps, although lacking any form of padding are extremely comfortable to wear and the bag feels nicely balanced on my back.
All in all I am very, very happy with my choice. I chose the Rust colour which is very pleasant and adds further still to the retro look and feel of the bag.
Bearmade are only a small British based company and have limited capacity to make large numbers of bags. But that means that every bag they do make is made with love and care and an attention to detail which has to be seen to be believed...and that is a really good thing.
By the appearance and feel of it, my Jorvik bag will probably out live me....and I look forward to many an enjoyable trip together over the coming months and years.
If you are a person who appreciates high quality and a product that is made in Britain ...with a huge dollop of nostalgia, then Bearmade bags.... and in this instance the Jorvik......have to be at the very top of your list if you are in the market for a new Bag.
Not inexpensive by any means...but if you can afford one then don't hesitate!
Using it everyday and love the shape and mix of pockets as well as the high contrast inner makes it easy to see everything. Another great product from BearMade!

faq's
Do you really only make 25 bags a week?
We sure do! 25 bags is our maximum capacity and we have no interest in making more than that. It means we can take great care over every detail.
To put that in perspective Rolls Royce make over 60 cars per week...
Are your bags waterproof?
Our bags are not totally waterproof, very few are. But they are pretty damn close. We spent an hour throwing them around in a waterfall and water only got in when we forgot to roll the top down....
Can I customise this bag?
Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't. It depends on the product. If you want to know more, send us an email and let us know what product you would like to personalise, along with what sort of personalisation you would like.
