Bags are big business
Published:  22 November, 2007

PenCarrie’s bag collection is broad: more than 120 styles are available. Brands featured include Quadra (with over 70 styles in total), BagBase (38 designs),Westford Mill (a good ‘basics’ collection of 10) and Tour Collection (with two bags matching its ‘country flag’ clothing range). Overall, PenCarrie says the bags it offers are a great source of inspiration to decorators: with everything from washbags and wallets (useful add-on sales) through to business suiters and laptop bags and on to picnic backpacks and cooler bags.

This year, PenCarrie has found basic shoppers are selling especially well. Clearly the need to avoid landfill and to have repeat-use bags is having an effect. This means that basic shoppers are now a popular choice, as logos and messages will live on well beyond any single promotion. Westford Mill’s new W215 Fashion Shopper has a good, 16-litre capacity and can be carried by hand or over the shoulder; it’s also easy to fold up when not actually in use. For something more substantial in design, BagBase’s new BG225 Pacific Tote Shopper in 600D polyester has magnetic closures, a rear pocket plus an internal zipped pocket. It comes in two colours: French navy with pistachio contrast; and classic red contrasted with sand.

Sports bags always bring in good business for decorators and Quadra this year has introduced a new sporty-looking range called ‘Stadia’. This includes the QD101 Stadia Holdall plus a ladies’ equivalent, coded QD104, and the QD102 Stadia Racquet Holdall. Amongst other practical design features, each of these has an end pocket designed to take toiletries.

The corporate world’s demand for bags is also seemingly insatiable, says PenCarrie. This year Quadra is complementing an already extensive range with its new ‘City’ collection. This includes the QD821 City Conference Bag, good for documents and with an organiser section. The QD824 City Airporter is made from the same durable textured polyester used for all the City range, and has heavy duty wheels and a retractable towing handle. For others whose travel may involve simpler means, such as walking or cycling, Quadra also offers the QD825 City Laptop Backpack/Saddlebag with its dual use backpack/shoulder-bag design. With an overall capacity of 12 litres, it has a padded back panel (for user comfort), plus a padded laptop section, a headphone port, plenty of zipped pockets and an organiser section.
