Utility
Clipper’s Story
The Clipper is based on a fishing-bag inspired style from our very first collection. A chance conversation with a customer in the USA led to the addition of a top handle, turning this from a country sports bag into a relaxed and charming briefcase.
This small and unexpected change gave us the bag that has become synonymous with TUSTING, and a style much copied by other brands since. We named it after the Clipper flying boats: the first aircraft to make passenger travel across the Atlantic possible, and in which Jack Tusting – from our family’s third generation – travelled on his selling missions to America.
The Materials
Canvas
Our strong sail canvas is dyed and finished to our exact specifications in Scotland. It is thick and robust whilst still being soft and pliable, it is protected with a stain repellant finish and, is, in short, just the perfect partner to our wonderful leathers.
Aztec Crazyhorse
Our distinctive Aztec Crazyhorse leather is the perfect partner to our Safari canvas, whose earthy tones are matched by the already-broken-in look of the Aztec leather. Hot-stuffed with oils during the tanning process, this distressed appearance leather has a lived-in look from the get-go.
Tan Atlantic
In partnering our classically colourful Olive canvas, the smooth gloss and classic tones of our Tan Atlantic leather lends a slightly dressier look to the canvas Clipper.
The Clipper Satchel – A True Classic
“Everything they say about it seems to be an understatement. Well worth the investment, and it will be my forever bag.”

Bespoke & Personalisation
All Tusting bags are hand-crafted in our Lavendon workshop. By special order, we can make your bag even more unique by personalising it, or we can create a bespoke colourway from our set of leathers. So whether it is a personalised message inside the bag, embossed initials or a special colour combination, don’t hesitate to contact us.
