Early on, RBW carried Carradice.  I'm getting ready to ride or I'd dig
through the old catalogs.  I think beth has one of the older Carradice-sewn
RBW bags which was closer to Carradice in spirit.

When the initial Baggins bags came out, there was very little like them -
nothing I can think of that was sewn domestically. When I first got them, I
had a few folks ask if my Banana Bag or Hobo Bag were Filson.

My guess is that GP _thinks_ about bags the same way he thinks about bikes.
As a confirmed bag-geek, I really enjoy the designs.
