This is a good alternative and a lot cheapier!  :mrgreen:

Looks great Martin we now need to sort that Manchester Jam so you can show it off!

Yes it does look nice. I guess balloon bags will continue to grow especially as I now need to stock 646s in every colour!

Thank you Martin for your new bag contact, looks like I will be a new owner of one in July   I really appreciate you giving me the contact details especially after all your hard work finding someone and getting it all organised.

My pleasure Royston, I'm pleased my research is proving useful to a few more people and also that the company might get a bit more business.

Having had the bag a week there are 2 small improvements I would make, which you might like to consider...

1. I would add a small velcro restraining strap so that when working you can roll the top flap back and restrain it from opening again

2. I would maybe consider sacrificing a pocket for some pen holder loops, then all I would need for most jobs would be the bag and a pump.

Hope this is useful!
Martin.

Martin, I'm very interested in this bag!  Could you pm me some details?  Also would it be affordable to get it in the states?

Joey,

This made me smile... :!:

I have just spent 2 years trying to get a Swifty bag sent over from the US. The moment I give up and get a similar bag made in the UK we now have to start thinking how to get one over to the USA

I have PM'd you the details for the lady who made it.

Cheers,
Martin.

Hi martin, can you pm me her details
thanks norm

Hi Martin, can you just put the details onto the forum?

Hi Martin

When you have filled up your bag can we have a few photos?

i have a Swifty Colossal Bag for sale only used for a couple of months in great condition i paid £300


open to sensible offers

Haha, Martin!  I know how you feel.  I really know of no one here in the states that makes a swifty size bag that is easy to get a hold of.
It seems the grass is always greener on the other side of the pond!
