When it comes to bags only the best is good enough and here at The Montrose Bag Company on the North East coast of Scotland, we put heritage and skill at the heart of what we do. Our parent company, Montrose Rope & Sail was founded back in 1789 to serve the Scottish fishing fleets. Fast-forward over two hundred years and MR&S is now the go-to provider of robust and durable all weather tarpaulins and kitbags for rig workers in the North Sea. Using skilled craftspeople and working with 100% waterproof materials, The Montrose Bag Company manufactures to the same high standards to create a complementary range of bags that can tough it out in the most testing of conditions. 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.

Im a repeat customer
Im a repeat customer, ive bought a couple of Jura bags in the past and also bought some custom made bags for my business. I found the quality of all items to be great and a sold at a fair price. I have also dealt with the designer and manufacturing staff and found them to be a pleasure to deal with.

Perfect Companion for Open Water Swimmers.
I am so pleased with the Clova Washbag and Organiser Set. I originally bought these to pair with my Jura Bag, and they have completely transformed how I manage my kit for open water swimming.
The organisation is spot on:
The Wash Bag: This is the perfect size for the "sauna dash." It neatly fits my underwear and fleece trousers, keeping them dry and ready for when I warm up post-swim at our lake.
The Large Bag: A total workhorse! It comfortably swallows my wet swimsuit, neoprene suit, gloves, and socks. The waterproof zip is the real hero here; it is 100% reliable. I can toss everything into my Jura bag without worrying about a single drop of water leaking onto my dry gear.
If you’re an open water swimmer looking for a durable, high-quality solution to keep your kit organised and dry, look no further. These are fabulous!

Hi Donna,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear how well your Clova Washbag and Organiser Set are working alongside your Jura Bag. It’s brilliant to know they’ve helped make your open‑water swimming kit easier to manage, especially on those quick “sauna dash” changes!
We love hearing how our products fit into real routines, and your kind words about the waterproof zip and overall organisation really mean a lot.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience — we’re so glad you’re enjoying them!
Warmest wishes,

Bag order
The e mail communication before I placed the order was prompt and very helpful. The delivery was agreed for a specific date - it arrived on time.
The bag was exactly what I wanted; good build quality with panels stitched together well / storage for sport kit / the logo I requested was attached effectively.
