They are here, our limited edition collection of tie dye chalk bags.

They started life as a canvas tent. Holes in the side, and dodgy zips – it had had enough of camping (let’s be honest, sometimes we all have) and ended up on our doorstep.

We then sent off a small sample to Stan at Tor and Edge to see whether we were able to dye the boring beige fabric. He back with the colours which would take.

We used this fabric to make a collection of chalk bags and boulder buckets. The fleece linings of these came from jumpers collected from various lost properties at climbing walls. The webbing is surplus stock from another company, and the canvas backs/ bases as from an end of roll from another local business.

Grab yours while you can. Why are they more expensive than the standard bags I hear you ask? We paid Tor and Edge for their handiwork. we all need to support small businesses during times like these. They look incredible…
