British gunmaker James Purdey & Sons is set to launch a new luggage collection in store and online.
This new collection of bags complements the discerning sportsman’s weekend away, from the Side by Side weekender that fits all of your kit for the shoot as well as a full gun, to the Keeper tote bag, which translates through the country and town.
There will be two stages of the collection’s launch. The first six pieces using nettle/cotton canvas will be released on September 21 and the second five all-leather pieces will be launched in early 2017.
The Purdey style and attention to detail runs through every item in the luggage range from the iconic shapes of the oval at the head of the straps, to the original Purdey starburst logo on the clasps, drawn by company founder James Purdey himself in 1826. As with all Purdey products, there is a focus on sourcing materials for the pieces within the UK and using traditional techniques in the manufacturing process.
Every luggage item will be stamped with its own individual serial number, like all of Purdey’s shotguns and rifles, to maintain the heritage of each bag. Also akin to the guns, the hardware on the pieces has been created using the same engineering skill. Metal parts are made from solid brass that has undergone six processes before a final coating with ‘black gold’ to give it the famous Purdey Coin Finish. The buckles, clasps, catches, and even the rivets and screws, are all designed in the Purdey pattern. They, like the entire collection, are intricately beautiful and built to last, says Purdey.
