I bought a saddlebag and frame from Carradice about 5 years ago.

I had a little tour of the place. It's only a small factory, probably employing about 25 people.

Is that a white rose, on a bag made in Lancashire? 😲

I have a Nelson Longflap on my fixie, very versatile and stylish. The Spa Tourer enjoys a full set of Carradry bags, they are more modern looking but again practical

It looks like a Tudor rose but in white, not red. The bag faded after a few years in the sun, but the rose hasn't faded, it was white when the bag was new.🤔

Not a Facebooker here neither but a big Carradice fan, have a Barley with me most Sundays (made by Sue), a cadet and two zipped rolls. Classic bike bags.

I really fancy a patch mind and may phone them and see if I can buy one on the phone.

Longflap man here (purchased late 60's I think). Excellent bag has seen many, many tours and miles.

I use mine for full day trips and Audax rides, just brilliant

I live about 5 miles from Pendle Hill. It'll be very busy on Halloween, as it's been for decades, due to the witches history.

I wandered in a while ago asking about a supposed factory shop.
Was asked, with a certain suspicion. 'are you local?"

 

[Petrichorwheels]

They burnt Witches up there apparently, as it Halloween soon might be some spooky goings on up there.....

No evidence of witch burning on pendle. Your fevered dreams i fear

They were all hanged at Lancaster prison.
