So we're very excited to announce that our old vinyl van coats have been transformed into fantastic anti theft bags by the wonderful people at MakeRight. We now have 70 bags available for you to try for us for free. All that we ask is for you to scribble down what you think of them via a short survey. You'll find details of the charity, the different bags to test and how to claim one below.

MakeRight
Makeright is a collection of anti-theft bags designed by inmates from HMP Thameside, London and produced by inmates from HMP Kilmarnock, near Glasgow. The collection takes its name from the Makeright team, a design education initiative led by the Design Against Crime Research Centre at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
The bags
There's a choice of five different styles which you can see just above at the top of the page.
Arm lock bag
This over-the-shoulder bag is worn by putting an arm through both handles, which also closes the main compartment. (Hence the name 'arm lock'!).
Laptop bag
A unique and distinctive design that fits 12"-15" laptops. Can be used with other bags in the range, too.
Messenger bag
A bag with a difference. The bag and top flap are one long pocket - so you can easily pop anything in then zip and fold the pocket.
Tote bag
A handy one to have about before a trip to a farmer's market. Clever over-the-shoulder straps keep the top flap folded over and everything nice and snug inside.
Holster bag
For those essential bits and bobs like your keys, passport and wallet. Can be worn under or over your clothes to travel a doddle. Worn close to the body means it'd be very tricky for someone else to take a "dip" in your belongings.
