Sourced Truck Tarp Messenger Front

Sourced creates messenger bags from tractor trailer curtains initially used to protect cargo. Before getting trashed, Sourced snags old tarps from companies, cleans them, and hand sews them into quality goods in the UK. All bags are trimmed with bicycle tube and get upcycled seatbelts for slings.

Sold in three sizes – Small, Medium, and Large – each has an unique design based on the tarp material. Pictured above, the large is built to handle any Macbook 17″ or smaller and has the dimensions 43x28x13 cm. A zip pocket on the front keeps all smaller valuables intact. Many of the bags show signs of wear, but that’s due to the nature of the material. Large is priced £49.99, about $80.00 by my calculations.

Could they be any more blatant in copying Freitag? Even the strap and buckle looks identical.

Yeah I also wanted to slash this clear freitag rip off. Why?

They’re a lot cheaper than Freitag…
Love the typography, but I doubt you’d have much of a choice in the shops.

Cheaper than Freitag, and made in the UK, so more local in appeal. Saying two companies can’t make a similar item is like saying only one company should make bikes then by that thinking?? Its a great product. Take it for what it’s worth.
