Brady

Brady has been making bags in England since 1887. It began with the brothers John and Albert Brady, who made leather gun cases in Birmingham. In the 1930s the second generation moved into the city's gun quarter, where Ernest, John's son, designed a range of fishing bags named after English rivers. Birmingham was bombed during the war, and the workshop started again in 1946 in Halesowen, in the Black Country. Today the bags are still made by hand, in Walsall, from cotton canvas, English leather and brass.

We offer the 1930s fishing bag in its town version, the Sandringham with its game net on the front, the Frome bucket bag and the Colne Mini, a smaller take on the house's cartridge bag. Frome and Colne are two English rivers: the habit has stuck.
