Stand out from the crowd with the 1834 MacLeod, our newest addition to NIXEY’s heritage range. As the newcomer to the 1834 Collection, this is a statement accessory that does all the talking.

MacLeod of Lewis is a Highland Clan dating back to the 13th century with connections to the Isle of Skye.  In more contemporary times, this vibrant yellow tartan was reappropriated by the punk age. Click here to read more about the history woven into the very fibres of MacLeod .

The 1834 Macleod unites the skill of two Scottish artisan manufacturers. The tartan is woven from natural wool fibres by a family company with a 200 year old history.  Passed on to a traditional sporran makers workshop, the fabric is then handcrafted with black leather to create each bag.  The heavyset, high quality fittings in bright polished nickel enhance the distinctive style of this 1834. 

Each 1834 has an adjustable strap so it can be worn as a long or short shoulder bag & as a beltbag. Designed with an expanding leather inner, the bag is compact yet deceivingly spacious.

Borne out of necessity in the 12th century, Highland warriors were the first to wear the leather sporran, over a kilt - a single piece of tartan cloth requiring no tailoring, and therefore no pockets. This modern reinterpretation by NIXEY stays true to the original design essence, yet adds an element of surprise as each 1834 seamlessly interchanges from shoulder bag to waist bag, reflecting the versatility of contemporary life. The 1834 gives you the freedom to wear your own way!
