Name This £220 Bag To Win It

I would name the bag 'Aveling.' My great-grandmother's maiden name was Hilda Aveling Aveling. Such was the family pride in the name, that they gave her it as a middle name, so when she married, she would still carry the name. My great-great-great uncle, Edward Aveling, was a prominent 19th century biologist, Darwinist, atheist and founder of the Independent Labour Party (great link to Manchester) not to mention in a relationship with Karl Marx's daughter (yet another link to Manchester). This bag says classic but modern, like the Aveling name. And if you don't like the politics, it's just a lovely name!

i would name it Big Red.....cos it is. :)

What a lovely story Rachel. I don't know how I am going to compete with that. Damn.

The Northern Postbag....

I'd call it 'The Hayworth'. After one of the sexiest ever redheads of course.

I'd call it the Northern Ruby, made in Manchester just like my Daughter, Ruby. A nod to it's origins and it wonderful colour. If I won, like you said this piece will last a lifetime, it would be so great to hand it down and be able to say it was sort of named after her! Also, in line with your inspirations the Norther Ruby mountains are a popular hunting destination, (albeit in Nevada!)

I would call this back pack Endure, because it looks like it could endure anything anyone could throw at it and last a life time.

What a beautiful bag....I'd call it the Carmine Traveller

I would call it a Tommybag because i like it!

I would call it "the boucle", short for Grand Boucle, which is French for the big loop, the informal name for the Tour De France. It suits a bag that's ideal for stylish cyclists, and of course French words always sound sophisticated - with the added bonus that half the population wouldn't have a clue what the word meant :-)

I would call it" The Taylor" after the legendary Liz Taylor, a timeless icon of beauty and grace, something this bag would share with Elizabeth Taylor

I would name it the Tardis, as the space inside is vast!

Cambridge, student would find this useful with all the books, item's they carry around colleges..nice size, with loads of room inside. This name has style and 'class' like the bag and students who would want it.

I would call it 'The Mary Traveller' For 2 reasons, firstly after Mary Poppins, as im sure you could fit everything in there and be extremely useful like her! And also after Mary Henrietta Kingsley (1862-1900) who was a British explorer who made two pioneering trips to West and Central Africa, perfect for todays, modern explorer! :)

fire diamond because its as red as a flame and a real diamond of a bag

At first glance, and if it were designed to be a laptop bag I would have called it the red-i (as in red-eye) but I think I would call it the Piccadilly in honour of the Manchester station from which trains cross the Pennies. Using Yorkshire cotton it's an appropriate nod, and the Pennines and rugged outdoor kit go together naturally. Piccadilly also sounds suitably smart and classic, but still authentic to its home city.

Sacky Wack

RED1

I would name it Mochila which is the spanish word for 'backpack' In english it is also a very rare and exotic name/nick- name for highly selective individuals- - perfect for this rucksack

I would name this the "Artemisia" bag, in reference both the the moon Goddess Artemis and to the medicinal plant artemisia, which I feel would befit this accessory made to accompany the urban warrior on her endeavours.

I'd call it Serendipity

how about 'Finesse'

Francesca, just because the name is pretty and elegant - much like the bag.

The Mancunian Oak Bag
As it is Born 'N Bred in Manchester on Oak Street

i would call it the red trendsetter

How about the 'Shackleton' after intrepid polar explorer Ernest Shackleton? There is something quite classic, yet modern about it...

FlatPak.

I would name the bag Matilda after my daughter

Rougeforte

Rouge meaning Red
Forte meaning strong and the 40 processes to make the bag

The 'Match Satch'

I would call it the Sunny Lowry- after swimmer who was the first British woman to swim the English Channel. She came from Manchester and like the bag was unique, very hard working a had a lot of guts and determination to carry things through. This lovely red bag has all these qualities

What do you think about "Peregrinus"?

the oxbridge

I would name it the "Elizabeth" - british, traditional and with royal connections ;)

Raquel

Tarquin

I WOULD NAME IT 'THE MCGURK' BAG.

Satchmo - cross between 'satchel' and 'more' due to it's appearance and capacity - and a classy guy coincidentally.

The Heartfelt One

I think the name "Rider" or "Jockey" works, as it sits on your back :-)

I'd like to call it the Mancspack. It's a back pack from Manchester giving maximum storage and great effect. I love it and this Scarlett colour is divine (I hope I win because my daughter, Scarlett, would adore this).

I'd call it the Greta because it is stylish, but functional and slightly adrogynous, like Greta Garbo, as well as an anagram for great.

BBB for Big Beautiful Bag.

Queenie

clifford the big red bag ;-)

The Duchess, The Middleton or The English Rose because it is high quality and good looking just like Kate Middleton.

How about red oak. The bag is red and can be purchased on Oak street. Also an Oak tree is native to the UK and it grows over a long period of time. The term Oak could also be used to link to the manufacture of a bag, ie traditional uk materials & created over a period of time to show something long lasting that stands out in a forest of distintly average bags

I would call it the Irwell after one of the great rivers of Manchester. A Few Fine Thing's bags are sturdy, capable and enduring, just like our fine river. They take whatever you throw at them and they continue to have a shabby beauty when they are well worn and well loved, and if the owner of this bag is anything like me then it will end up having quite a lot of 'rubbish' in it. That could lead on to the other 'urban' bags being named for other Rivers and the 'estate' bags being named after local grand Estates (Tatton, Dunham, Lyme)

The TAFF BAG. Sounds right to me and is an anagram of the initial letters of "A Few Fine Things."

Only one name for it... rucklux as it is a luxurious rucksack

Oakley's Fox Lock :)

RED FIRE

I would call it "sac rouge".

Why -
* The bag has a 'je ne sais quoi' franch/european flair to it, so giving it a international name will fly.
* It says exactly what is on the tin i.e. Red bag.

Another name for the bag could be the "Arkwright"

Richard Arkwright opened Manchester's first cotton mill in 1783, just around the corner from you in Miller Street.

Very much keeping the history of Manchester's textile industry with a modern British twist.

I would call it Fransesca, after the owner.

I'd call it the 'Northern Star' because it's from the Northern Quarter & looks like it would be a 'star' performer!

The Alecia......Provocative, stylish and it's definitely Pink!

I'd call it Hermione...... Definitely evokes memories of school and why not name it after the famous school girl wizard!!

Stylasack

i think the name needs to reflect the lush qualities of the bag, so my idea is to call it something showing off its bright and rich colour and quintessentially british background such as:

the poppy
n. of a vivid red to reddish orange, resembling scarlet

the chestnut
adj. of a moderate to deep reddish brown
n. a classic, frequently repeated story, song, or joke

the sanguine
adj. cheerfully optimistic, hopeful, or confident
(ie sanguine expectations)

the roseate
adj. optimistic, bright or promising
(ie a roseate future)

the claret
n. vital, refreshing
