New Railway Bag!

Large Railway Bag by Evancliffe Leathercraft

We’re pleased to introduce this new railway bag to our range.

Based on an example of an original railway bag, but hand crafted, hand dyed and hand stitched, this is a very tough bag that will last for a long time.

Inside the bag are three pockets which vary in height and depth with a flap which comes over and covers all three.  The face of the flap can include a logo or customisation. (Logo shown in photographs is for illustration only.)  The price also covers stamping initials / name etc. on the reverse of the bag.

The flap is lockable. Two keys are supplied, along with a key ring which matches the colour of the bag.  We can also stamp your chosen initials or railway letters on the keyring.

You can buy this product from our  Railway Related Products shop page.
