Do you still own this bag? I’ve been looking for one for years. Would you consider selling it? Cheers

I've know Eric for years. He and I share the distinction of being the only 2 American kids that spent a summer working for the Taylor brothers in Stockton on Tees ( but not at the same time though). He made me a custom "Rasta" Zo bag with a secret pocket for my "hemp"!
Rumor had it that another Buddy of mine, Mark Norstad sold one of his on Ebay and got over $1800 dollars for it.

Yes I still have it, I’ve seen what they go for too.
Eric’s an amazing guy. I reached out to him and he made me a shoulder pad for it. Sent me a load of cool stuff too including some of his photography, a little fold out book of his and a typed letter (he seems very much like a typewriter sort of chap).
We have a shared love of bikes, photography and fond memories of Japan.
He addressed his package to me in the United Kingdumb.
@Caj Remtiw say hi to him from the United Kingdumb for me next time you’re in touch.

That is not true! Bicycle messenger bags have been around for a very long time. I bought a similar bag from EG Bates in London in 1974.

Thats what i heard from the guy who sold me my first
They were first designed in NY iirc. There were lots of satchel variants before oc. 
Just out of curiosity any picks of the bag ?

Are you both ex messengers too then? Ms and my partner are. Still got various bits of Eric's stuff.
Though I mostly used Pac Bags for work.
