Written by the company
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. From shoppers to totes, backpacks to holdalls we manufacture everything here at our headquarters in Scotland for export all over the world. From rucksacks to holdalls, travel bag to totes, The Montrose Bag Company has got your luggage needs covered. Both offshore and onshore there really is no better bag. All Weather Bags Engineered to Perform Outdoors. Trusted heritage since 1789. Authentic, Durable + Hand Manufactured in Scotland. Built to Last.

Glad to hear all went smoothly Joanne.
A Christmas purchase - sorry for the delay!
I got a set of bags for my wife for Christmas in her favourite colour - purple. A great job!
Whilst I initially thought that the name tags were a little ‘industrial’, it actually turns out that they are dead easy to spot - winner!
I’d definitely use again; although, I suspect that I won’t have to replace my wife’s bags for quite some time!

This is the second set of their great bags…
This is the second set of their bags we've had. First lot we used for rope access equipment. They are really tough but flexible. Second set was for ppe we need for various jobs, problem is they have been so popular we will be ordering a third set.

Tough and practical
We have purchased several rig bags over the years, they are well made, hard wearing and practical. Yes, they are expensive but worth it. We are not off shore workers but our son was and Montrose was his choice when he was on the rigs…
