Colour Clash

Maxim's September issue has our Clash canvas messenger Bag in a head to head with W2's Pantone Palette Bag. TinTac appears to have come out on top. And black aside, it comes in just as many colours.

"Top Trend... Messenger Bags - If you want to be noticed as you speed away from the red lights, you'll need a flash messenger bag. Music fans should look out for TinTac's concert range, featuring the likes of Babyshambles and The Clash. But if you're after a bit more colour then W2's Pantone palette bag is the one for you." Maxim

Our messenger bags make the Front pages

The inside pages of the September edition of Front magazine to be precise. The Hoxton Concert Collection shares the limelight with snippets from Altamont Apparel, a collaboration between Fred Perry and British designers & Son, and Urban Industry's veggie sneakers. Wholesome company.

"Bag boys TinTac have teamed up with White Label to make a range of bags that you can customise with some proper iconic concert tickets, including the likes of Zeppelin, The Clash and some kick-ass artwork from Joy Division."

Urban rucksack on the right track with Virgin Trains

The July-September 08 edition of Virgin Trains Hotline magazine features Lewis Hamilton on the cover and inside - the TinTac Bloomsbury (in Virgin red, of course). The description of this three in one bag (tote/shoulder bag/rucksack) is spot on. Even the fact that it's weatherproof and has loads of pockets for all your gadgets and portable devices is on the right lines. But where the description goes slightly off the rails is when it says it's made of canvas. Instead, it's a heavy duty man-made weave with rip-stop lining. They must have been confusing it with the cotton canvas Hoxton - our messenger style shoulder bag.

Just for the record, it's not just men that buy our bags.

The Independent on Saturday, June 28th picked up on TinTac and included the following snippet:

"For music-loving men, this is the perfect bag. Made by TinTac, the Bloomsbury is a modern take on the original DJ bag designed by John Wright, founder of the legendary music store City Sounds, nearly 30 years ago. Prices start from £60"

A rose by any other name...

Great to see Tin Tac featured in this month's RWD even if the name has been scrambled - Tic Tan? However you spell it, it's a great bag for all your nick-nacks.

"New to the streets yet already packing cred, Tic Tan, (sic.) have all the right straps in all the right places. This £60 messenger bag aptly named, The Hoxton, is stylish and understated, and perfectly small for the modern urbanite. Visit tintaclondon.com."

TinTac Bags to ride the festival wave

This short piece appeared in this month's Menswear picking up on our recently launched Concert Collection range:

Bags brand TinTac has launched a line of messenger bags with tickets of famous concerts printed on them, which are set to be the bags of choice at all the music festivals this summer.

Tickets include classics such as The Rolling Stones at Earls Court Arena in 1976 and Stone Roses famous Spike Island gig. The bags are the brainchild of former record shop owner John Wright and his friend and partner Laurence Floyd. 0208 397 2662

All that was missing was the fact that all the bags are printed up to order rather than held in stock - you choose your bag and your ticket and we put the two together for you.
