Known for their exceptional craftsmanship and enduring quality, a purchase from McWilliam Bags will withstand the tests of time and serve you extremely well. Here’s how to get your hands on one…
It’s been over 50 years since McWilliam Bags began putting bags together using leftover materials from their sail making business in the seaside village of Crosshaven in county Cork, and over the intervening five decades, their simple, sustainable approach has remained consistent.
Finely stitched into the fabric of each bag is a robust strength and preparedness for years and years of play, passage and future exploration. Bags made to go everywhere with you, McWilliam bags are known to show up in some of the most unexpected places. From way beyond the comfort zone, knee deep in snow on an arctic expedition, to within 30 feet of nowhere in the middle of the sea, the McWilliam stripes are hard to miss.
Throughout the years, a commitment to sustainability has become entrenched in the DNA of McWilliam. By making a durable and enduring product, not only does the brand stop contributing to the pollution of our earth and ocean, but they help in the removal of one pound of plastic waste from it with every order placed.
Yes, they’re built to last and made sustainably, but these bags are also stylish, combining functionality with sophistication and offering versatile options for various aspects of modern life. From the iconic holdalls ideal for travel, sports gear, sailing and any urban adventure, to the wash bags handcrafted from abrasion-resistant materials, these bags tick all the boxes.
Their tote bags offer a blend of functionality and fashion that’s perfect for everyday errands or casual outings. Made from sustainable, water-repellent materials, these totes handle heavy loads with ease and add a touch of sophistication to any routine.
