Speedwell is run by Neil in Somerset, England. I make functional bags by hand using reclaimed textiles—deadstock, offcuts, and secondhand fabrics that would otherwise go to waste.

Every bag is made one at a time, and most are one-of-one. What I make depends on the material I find. I source the best-quality fabrics I can—often from older stock that’s better made and longer lasting than most mass-produced textiles today.

The aim is simple: to make useful things that are built to last. No unnecessary features, no fast fashion thinking—just good, solid items you can use every day.

Speedwell is also about appreciating slower ways of living. Time outdoors, simple routines, doing things by hand. These bags are made for carrying tools, food, extra layers—for walking, fixing, growing, making.

I believe in using what already exists, keeping things going as long as possible, and designing with care. Thanks for being here and for supporting small, thoughtful production
