Hands-free bags let you carry everything you need while keeping both hands available for a bike, a pushchair, a dog lead, a camera or a crowded commute. This collection brings together every hands-free style we make in our Liverpool workshop: all of our leather backpacks, our crossbody bags including the Hipster and Pixies, and our sporrans and bullring saddlebags.
Our leather backpacks come in Portrait and Windsor styles in several sizes, plus the Saddlebag Backpack, and suit commuting, university, travel and days out. Crossbody bags sit close to the body and keep your essentials secure in front of you, while sporrans and bullrings give a compact option for walking, festivals and Highland dress. Whatever your day involves, there is a way to carry it without holding anything.
Every hands-free bag is made to order by hand in any of our 44 leathers, and many styles can be personalised with options such as hidden magnetic fasteners or push locks, backpack shoulder pads, gold hardware and a hand-pressed monogram. Each one is stitched by our own craftsmen in the workshop where the Hanshaw family has been making leather bags since 1966, and carries our maker's mark discreetly on the back. Every bag is backed by our five-year guarantee and a lifetime of repairs, so you can keep your hands free for many years to come.
