David Parker February 19, 2015

Get out and about this spring with a set of Millican bags and accessories worth over £500. 

Lake District-based Millican makes bags using sustainable materials and original, functional designs. Their rucksacks, bags and accessories are made to equip a lifetime of outdoor living and travel – your cargo for life.

Sustainable innovation

It’s all about being smart with materials and mindfulindesign. Millicanbagsaremade using tough, weatherproof, organic cotton canvas (less water); vegetable tanned leather (fewer chemicals), recycled polyester and Lakeland Herdwick wool from their local farm.

Take Les the Cooler Bag (all Millican’s bags are named after local friends and heroes) a comfy canvas shoulder bag, insulated with Herdwick wool to keep a picnic fresh for up to eight hours.

Millican founders Jorrit and Nicky were inspired by Lake District legend, Millican Dalton who left London for Cumbria in the early 1900s and practised self-sufficient living from a cave in Borrowdale. He took guests on rock climbing and mountain adventures, with campfire philosophising on the side. Read more at www.homeofmillican.com.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
