The chalk bag

My friend 'works' for a charity called Outdoor Lads. They are UK wide and a lovely load of guys. http://www.outdoorlads.com/

He had heard me bash on about my ideas for CragSwag and called my bluff by asking me to make him an Outdoor Lads chalk bag - with the view that the company may want some more. He gave me a t-shirt to use as we didn't have access to print the logo and away I went.

It was actually a lot easier than I had expected and the second one came out really well, the first one ended up on the floor in bits. He now uses the bag on a regular basis and states that it's great. How much if this is friend being nice to friend I don't know - but I was pleased with the outcome and it made me realise that this could actually work.

Unfortunately the company didn't want me to make any more as they could source them for much cheaper in China (or somewhere similar) and that's fair enough. I do not have access to a few hundred Chinese who can make me cheap products and I do not want to make 200 of the same bag.

I'd like CragSwag to be more about recycling and British.
