UPDATE- 28/8/14, website is now live! http://kinsu.co.uk

Hey guys,

Im using all my time from now until xmas to purely focus on the custom order side of my new business. I've been making bags and bits for myself and friends for a while, and I've finally gone out and set it all up.

I can do messenger bags, backpacks, tote bags, rolltop types.. whatever you want really. Just ask and ill let you know. It doesnt have to be your standard utilitarian looking cycling bag either.. I have access to leather, waxed cottons and lots of canvases as well as the standard Cordura. All stitching is done on an industrial sewing machine with bonded 40s nylon thread (you cant break a single strand of it with your hands) so theyre sturdy as and built to last!

Basically, you let me know what you want, and ill do you a sketch. you approve or alter the design based on the drawings, and i make you it. Heres a couple I've done recently..

More info can be seen in the Kinsu thread, on the blog, or on the website (full site coming soon)

If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks

Kieran, Kinsu.

provisional dibs until i hear back from my girlfriend..

http://www.lfgss.com/thread118633.html

very nice indeed. Ive passed the mesage on to my girlfriend.

also 49cm is fine

BUMP. Willing to pay up to about £250 for f+f if its perfect.. if not, anything cheaper is also fine! Just offer.

I used to work there. The lights on the stairs never worked, nor did the heating, and sometimes tramps would wee in the lobby. It's probably improved since then.

The lights on the stairs are on 24/7 and ive never turned the heating on, its always boiling in here aha.

12ounce when you do mine could you make where the straps at the top of the bag a bit closer to the middle? Looking at my eastpak they're right next to the top handle?

Other than that I'm exited :) grey tarp liner for me too?

the little bit of extra distance just means you can wear the bag a bit higher up, so it fits a bit better when fully loaded and tall. But ill move them in a bit if thats the look youre after! Does the sizing of Barry's look alright for you? Currently drawing out your panels before construction.

You should sort yourself out with a logo and/or some particular finishing touches that will make it look not just like a bag, but your bag

ordering some woven labels as soon as i have the cash. Dont want to put anything lesser quality on them really. Heres what im doing with the customs for now.

front detail

Finished Barry's bag yesterday, took some photos this morning.. here it is. Cordura with a grey tarp lining, super stiff and hard wearing. Im open for more custom orders too if anyone is interested.

and heres a photo of it fully open

get his paypal email, stick it in facebook search and se if he comes up. Hassle him on there.

More sketches for custom orders..

And another visit to the studio from Kimbie the puppy.

Are you in Capital House?

i am indeed.

it will be, but i havent lined the rolltop messenger yet. Ill post a picture of the tarp on this thread as soon as im in the studio.

I used to work in studios 3/4 in a previous life as a photographer.

Ah right! Probably directly above me then. I took the studio off tony of shutters, who I think was there from the mid 90s or so.

Was in with Kieran just now and I've got to concur with everything Rikki's said and more - it's great set up and the bags look amazing. Sirbikealot I think it's yours that's in progress as we speak!

I think Kieran was working on yours when I got there, sirbikealot. Only bare bones mind but if the messenger is anything to go by it'll be awesome

Cheers guys!

Wahoo! cannot wait, 12ounce if the above is true could you whack some photo's up?

Feel free to do it here to show off your work, getting word out is going to be one of the heardest things starting out so i'm happy to help you as much as possible :)

as they said, yours and Barrys bags are currently in progress, made the straps and cut some panels waiting for assembly, but the cordura for yours should be arriving at some point tomorrow. Will post pictures then :)

black Leader 725 with columbus forks outside the black horse at about 10.30 this evening?

i can make you some for £15 posted if youre intrested. shoot me a PM

^ That is one good looking muthafuckah.

Ham street. Are you in Capitol House then?

Yep, capitol house. Been looking for a studio for months and its brilliant!

Cool cool, should be about then. Ok to bring the pup?

yeh man! The spaniel? You find yourself a pup in the end then?

When you next in the studio mate? Would be nice to pop down!

tomorrow from about 3.30, ill have a little tidy up and get some coffee brewing if you fancy coming by.

friday is fine for me

Awesome job, buddy, well done. Where's the new studio space? Heigham street?

yeh man, Heigham street. Ive put all the pics of the bag up here, but heres a couple..

XL Rolltop messenger is pretty much done.. Will have a detachable lining and some poppers to compress it into a smaller bag when less loaded.. here it is. Should be up for sale soon once the final touches have been added.

pretty pleased with the outcome!

im taking custom orders on bags of all shapes and sizes, made to your spec. PM me if youre interested.
