Bowes Bags Ltd hand make Sheepskin, Goat skin and Cow hide pipe bags in Scotland for the Great Highland Bagpipe. Our pipe bags are manufactured to the highest standards of craftsmanship, maintaining the traditional methods handed down from generation to generation.

Despite the countless technological advances in synthetic pipe bag production through the past two decades, the traditional hand made Sheepskin pipe bag has remained a proven product leader rather than an alternative.

A Bowes Bags pipe bag is comfortable to play and has the qualities that every piper could possibly wish for - tightness, durability and superior moisture control allowing for enriched tonal quality and optimum reed performance.

There is a major resurgence in the popularity of Sheepskin bags which has been exemplified by pipe bands competing at the highest levels of Grade 1. Sheepskin is rapidly proving itself as the bag of choice and it's easy to understand why when hearing the superior tonal definition they achieve.

With over 20 years of experience in piping and bag making, you can be assured that your Bowes pipe bag is individually manufactured with care and rigorous attention to detail. Bowes Bags Ltd present pipers and pipe bands everywhere with the opportunity to make the switch back to Sheepskin bags with a quality product that is reasonably priced.
