Photos? I'd like to see what they look like as compared to what I have.
Still in the box in the office, I will take a snap tomorrow and post. I like the ability you have to clip yours together with that little strap, very nice touch that I don't have!Going to send Ryan a mail now and ask him for an ETA, I think the expected delivery was the end of last May!

The coupling straps were my idea. And the size/shape of the 2 mirror image bottom cases was per my design (which I mocked up). The upper case was a mod of a Bespoke design for a DB9. I made it deeper, taller and narrower so that it would press flush against the front of the boot and fill the height available, and also look correct when perched on top of the lower cases.yeti said:
Before any one asks... yes I have a collection of hampers as well, I think we have 5 of them..?
Nicest we have is a leather bag from Dunill, titanium cuylery, polycarbonate crockery and a rug with a twister mat on the reverse side

why am I not surprised by you buying from that web site 
The only thing I don't like about those Yeti is the fact it's got bespoke in massive letters - reminds me of these - http://www.bespokecars.co.uk/
Otherwise they're very nice! I prefer the soft bags though personally

What are the dimensions? Seems to be about the same width as my top case. Didn't you say you also had another? Same as this one?
Yup, another one identical and then 4 soft bags which are a work in progress - there was a delay sourcing more Parliament leather from Bridge of Weir, they had to wait for Aston to order more before they'd produce another batch! The soft bags should have Moonstone trim/detailing, should look pretty nice.
I agree George, didn't expect it to be 'logoed up' like that. Bit of a liberty I thought!

Are you having the soft bags made by Aston ? Which department are you dealing with if so ? Trying to decide whether to order some in Lords Red jonby said:

Trying to decide whether to order some in Lords Red When I was initially speccing up my cases, I was thinking of Olive Green to match my interior (would have had to wait on an Aston leather order for same to Bridge of Weir), or PG to match my boot carpet. But since it was carpet, I figured it made little sense to try to match a leather to a carpet.
Since Sahara Tan was much more easily sourced, being that Aston uses lots and is always ordering more from BoW, I chose to go that route. As a side benefit, it shows up better when in the boot since it is a contrasting color, and it looks the part of an accessory since it matches my seat, door panel and rear parcel cubby inserts.
Now that I've got the hard cases and seen the quality of the finished product, I plan on ordering either some soft bags from Bespoke, or more likely, some custom semi-rigid bags similar to airline carry-ons. But that's a winter project.
If you want soft bags, I can't see any reason to go the Aston route when you can get something special from Bespoke for the same or less money.
