Montrose Bag

Founded in Montrose in 1789 the original company served the flourishing local fishing industry manufacturing ropes and hand-sewn sails that could withstand the harsh weather out at sea. As the Scottish fishing fleet diminished, over the years the company has had to continuously innovate to survive. The Paton family, who took over in the early 1900's, has since made a name for Montrose Rope and Sail in North Sea Oil & Gas. With the development of new materials, like the ones we still use today and the introduction of new innovative technology to our workshop, it's helped us to continuously develop and build better products that are designed to perform outdoors and against the elements. Over the last forty years countless offshore workers have come to depend on us for the specialised kit bags, backpacks, and other equipment they need to enable them to do their jobs safely and skilfully. But it's not only oil industry professionals who value what we do. Time and time again we were asked to make our unique range of durable, versatile and reliable bags available to a wider audience. And so having invested in new cutting-edge technology we launched The Montrose Bag Company which builds on four generations of heritage and experience. Using the same skilled craftsmanship, the same tried and tested materials and the same passion for perfection, we've extended our range to include bags and luggage that everyone will be proud to own. From shoppers to totes, backpacks to holdalls we manufacture everything here at our headquarters in Scotland for export all over the world.
