Something I forgot to mention on all the other posts is that I also brought across Multi-Holsters, although I've really not put much effort into getting word out about them. They work really well attached to the messenger shoulder strap, but I also use mine on my belt when I'm cycling with the rolltop. It holds my mobile and I attach my keys for my lock to save fishing around in my pocket for ages in the rain. Pretty handy. I've sent a few out already, quantity lists below along with the VagX info. Pictures to follow. Drop me an email if you fancy one.

Numbers:
Black w/white text x 2
Black w/black text x 2
Blue w/white text x 2
I think i'll do the holsters for £14. If it's part of a bag order just stick the price on top, if it's on it's own then £15 incl postage.

Taking Orders Sending Shippings
Following the arrival of my orders I've been a bit too busy sending out existing orders to update the blog, but it's a working progress getting pictures up and a review so that should all be up soon.
Quick stock update, the black/white rolltops appear to be a lot more popular than I first thought, and have now all been shipped out. I still have two red rolltops as well as a silver, and a large collection of messenger bags too, so check out the individual posts for updated quantities.
As for shipping, I'm happy to ship to everywhere if you're happy to cover the cost. Updated shipping costs will be put up with the pictures, but I'll send across a quote before taking any money for orders.
The first batch of bags should be arriving any day now so I should have some feedback on the bags for you soon.

Order Details
With the dots and crosses on Is and Ts about to be put into place, I am now starting to take orders on the bags. This is the first shipment, and so it's a small one, more so to get some product shots and measurements, and to see which bags to buy in future. Numbers are very limited, and these are the only VAGX bags to be shipped to the UK, and there will be no more until my next order, so get your hands on them early.
Below is a list of what is available, and photos/further details can be found elsewhere on the blog. To put your name down, just fire across an email to aaspden@hotmail.com and i'll reserve a bag from the first order. As I said, numbers are very limited, and are on a first come, first served basis. Payment can be sorted out once the order has arrived (mid-late October) with any additional costs of shipping taken into account at the time, although I am happy to deliver around London personally.
Messenger:
Dot Black/White x 1
Matt Black/White SOLD OUT
Red/Grey belt x 2
Ivory Mix x 1
Navy x 2
Matt All Black x 2
Dot All Black x 1
Dot Clear Black SOLD OUT
Rolltop:

Grey/Mint x SOLD OUT
Once these bags are gone i'll be making a much larger order from a wider selection of stock (viewable on the website http://vagx.co.kr) so feel free to send across an email to request a specific colour in advance.
Happy shopping

New Order
UPDATE - As the details are being finalised on the first order of VAGX bags from South Korea, I will be updating the blog with more information as it comes through. This is the first UK order, so I thought that I would keep it small to see which bags people prefer. At present, I have used the photographs from the VAGX website, but once my order arrives I'll be taking lots of my own shots to present the bags as fully as possible.
I apologise for the lack of information at present, translating from Korean can be tricky, particularly when things get a bit technical, but as soon as the bags arrive I will be updating the blog with full information regarding size, volume, materials and I will answer any questions you may have about the bags.

Red/White SUMMIT Rolltop Backpack
Quantity: SOLD OUT
Price: £120
One version also available in silver
Price: SOLD OUT
VAGX Clear Black Messenger Masterpiece
Quantity: 1
Price: £100
With the release of their new line of messenger bags, VAGX have revealed a wide array of modifications to increase the efficiency of their products for the rider, focusing on producing a simple, and most importantly, usable messenger bag without compensating the aesthetic appeal which has always been the initial draw of owning a VAGX design.
The brand new black and white model, as presented here, comes complete with a clear plastic pocket on the front to hold stickers, flyers, or whatever designs you wish to show off to the city streets on your ride around town. Whilst I have seen some bags with enough space to drag around an A3 poster, I am unsure as to how much the pocket can actually hold, but as soon as the first order arrives I will be piling as many drawings in as I can, so watch this space for that one.
In addition to the clear pocket, the VAGX logo is presented in bold on the base of the bag - notably for the braver of London's cyclists given the obvious connotations - and whilst this design has drawn contrasts with the work of SAG, these bags are far less in number on London's streets and are guaranteed to take off quick enough to shake off any design parallels and suspect allusions thrown upon it at such an early stage.
The base itself is cushioned by a layer of polyurethane (a fact directly translated from the website, and so most probably lost in translation. All materials and dimensions will be confirmed upon the arrival of the first order).
With a new design comes new production materials, with all aspects of the bag produced in Japan, by YKK Corporation, preferred to the Korean production of the earlier range. And with new design comes improvement, with a stronger zip incorporated and an improved strap system adopted. According to the website, a new one-touch system has been designed in order to eliminate the hidden D-ring system of earlier designs, whilst also employing a shortened belt to keep the bag snug against the body. The biggest feature of the new design is a removable shoulder strap system for speed and ease in unloading the bag, with a D-ring attached to the end of the belt which, when pulled hard enough, unfastens the strap for simple removable.
Another greatly welcomed improvement to the design comes in the form of a 3-way anti-sway system, a feature found on many messenger bags actually deemed suitable for couriering, providing greater control and comfortability when riding with a full load.
The outer-layer of the bag is a waterproof polyurethane coated fabric (denier tbc) whilst the inner-layer is fake suede. As translated from the VAGX website, a strong, light-weight special nylon fabric was used for optimum strength as well as beauty.
