Handcrafted Heritage. Modern Purpose. Lasting Impact.

A multi-functional, utilitarian duffel bag that cleverly folds and shifts into a messenger bag – soft, adaptable, and responsive to how people really move. Designed for creatives and travellers alike, it’s ideal for overnight journeys or slipping neatly under an aircraft seat. Its “squishy,” origami-like structure is intentional: a bag that bends, carries, and lives with you.

Crafted from dry-waxed cotton in navy and hand made by social enterprise in Dunfermline from heavy waxed cotton fabric made in Dundee, water-resistant, robust, and steeped in Scottish textile heritage. This is material chosen not for trend, but for endurance.

This bag also means supporting meaningful employment, honouring traditional skills, and proving that thoughtful design and social purpose can coexist beautifully.

Made slowly. Made locally. Made to last a lifetime of journeys.

More than a bag, Tuluk is a bridge between past and future: a celebration of traditional craft, sustainable design, and the power of community.

Inspired by Isobel ‘Tuluk’ Wylie Hutchison

Arctic explorer. Botanist. Artist. Writer. Quiet changemaker.
Born in West Lothian, Isobel ‘Tuluk’ Wylie Hutchison travelled the frozen North with courage, curiosity, and a deep respect for the land and its people.

The Tuluk Duffel Bag honours her spirit — resilient, resourceful, understated, and endlessly adventurous.

Craft with Purpose

Every Tuluk bag supports something far greater than the product itself.

By purchasing a Tuluk, you help fund commission-based apprenticeships, connecting master artisans with emerging makers. Your bag directly contributes to:

• The revival of traditional, hands-on craftsmanship
• Meaningful employment and skills development
• A sustainable, community-driven Scottish manufacturing model

You’re not just carrying a bag — you’re carrying the future of craft.
