These bags look superb. The idea behind them was to recycyle or even upcycle vinyl advertising posters to creating something useful and in each case unique. The SMAXBros have really created something special here.

The idea for SMAXbags was born from a desire to make bags for ourselves that we could use and abuse and different from all other bags. We found out about billboard vinyl from a friend in the ad business, got our hands on some and started working with the material. We wanted to create unique hand crafted upscale product that we would be proud to use ourselves. After three years of making large duffel bags out of the billboard material for ourselves and our friends, testing designs and learning to work with the material we decided it was time to get serious about it.

I have contacted the guys at http://www.smaxbags.com and will hopefully have a chance to test and review one of these bags.
