Inspired by the Pink Salt Lakes of Victoria’s north west, the traditional Country of the Latji Latji, Ngintait and Nyeri Nyeri Peoples, we bring you the limited edition colour MURRAY SUNSE

Prickly Pear has currently sold out, so if you’re pining for some desert details in your life don’t delay, we’ve only made a small batch of these!

📣 HAVE NOT RETIRED! AM STILL MAKING ALL BAGS EXCEPT CUSTOM FRAMEBAGS 📣

Okay having a ‘flair for the dramatic’ and writing a fun little cover saying goodbye to CUSTOM FRAMEBAGS has lead a lot of people to think I am closing. Quite the opposite!

“All FRAMEBAG orders have now closed” so that I can focus on keeping things in stock and working on new designs.

There’s a story behind the name of our humble Handspan Pouch

My dad, Ken, was a puppeteer for many decades and ‘Handspan’ was the name of the Theatre Company that his group of friends founded in 1977 • He met my mum, Carmelina, when she joined the company in 1984 and (while not together anymore) they are still good friends today • I spent many, many hours in their studio and backstage of their productions as a child so I didn’t have much hope of ever having a ‘normal’ job (but they did assure me that if that was the path I chose they would still be proud 😆) •

• We are back in the studio today! • This year I am vowing to trust my gut more and put more energy into the things I want to make, rather than constantly trying to keep up with everything else that’s out there • It may disappoint some of you, but we’re going to be leaning slightly away from the Bikepacking side of the spectrum and focus a little bit more on the unsung heros of cycling; Commuters! •

• As always I have big plans and am excited for the year ahead with my right hand woman Michelle (incidentally Happy Birthday 🥳) • Tia x
