Introducing Our New Small Canvas Tarps & Ground Sheets. Durable. Versatile. 100% Naz Bags Quality.

At Naz Bags, we’re all about crafting high-quality, practical products that hold up to real-world use. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the newest addition to our range: small canvas tarp, ground sheets, tent footprints — tough, eco-friendly, and endlessly handy.

Why You’ll Love Them

Made from durable Australian canvas, these compact canvas tarps are designed to withstand the elements while staying breathable and flexible. Unlike plastic or synthetic options, our canvas doesn’t crack, crinkle, or trap condensation — it works with nature, not against it.

Whether you’re camping, working outdoors, or just need something reliable to throw in the back of the ute, these tarps are the perfect companion.

Key Features:

Heavy-Duty Canvas – Made from high-quality, tightly woven cotton canvas
Water & Rot Resistant – Treated for added protection against the elements
Breathable Material – Won’t trap moisture, helping prevent mould and mildew
Multi-Purpose Size – Easy to fold, pack, and stash anywhere
Handmade in Australia – Like everything at Naz Bags, made with care and built to last

How to Use Them

Our small canvas tarps are truly multi-functional:

  • Under tents: As ground sheets to add insulation and moisture protection
  • Picnic or camp blanket: Tough enough for rough terrain, comfy enough to sit on
  • Tool & gear cover: On the job site, in the shed, or on the road
  • Pet mat: A clean, tough layer for dogs to lie on during outdoor adventures
  • Emergency shelter: Lightweight enough to carry but strong enough to shield you from sun or rain

Care Instructions

  • Let it dry completely before storing to avoid mildew
  • Spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap
  • Reapply waterproofing treatment over time if needed

Why Choose Naz Bags Canvas?

Because we don’t do throwaway culture. Our canvas gear is made to last, handcrafted by a small Australian team that cares about sustainability, quality, and real-life functionality. This new product fits right in with our range of reusable bags, tool rolls, and gear built for everyday legends.


Soon Available in Our Online Store!
You can soon browse the new Small Canvas Tarps & Ground Sheets and see how they can work for you. Whether you’re hitting the trail, the worksite, or just looking for durable Aussie-made gear — this one’s a must-have.

Why We Use Australian Made Canvas—And Why It Matters

Standard panniers and Large Top Bag

Built for Aussie Conditions, Backed by Aussie Values

At Naz Bags, we don’t just make canvas gear—we craft durable, functional products made to handle Australia’s harshest conditions. Whether you’re riding through the bush, wheeling rugged trails, or camping off-grid, your gear has to keep up.

That’s why we use 100% Australian made canvas in nearly everything we make—from saddle bags to tool rolls, rear motorcycle bags to custom covers. It’s not the cheapest option—but it’s the best. Here’s why it matters.


1. Tough as Nails: Designed for the Aussie Outdoors

Australian made canvas is specifically engineered to withstand:

  • Intense UV exposure without breaking down
  • Heavy rain and high humidity, thanks to water-resistant coatings
  • Rough use—scrapes, mud, dust, and more

Cheap imported canvas may look similar, but it often lacks the density, treatment, and longevity of Aussie-manufactured textiles. When you invest in quality canvas, you’re getting gear that won’t give up after a few rides or storms.


2. Sustainability Starts with Materials

We care about the land we’re lucky to live and work on. Australian canvas is:

  • Manufactured under strict environmental regulations
  • Made in part from natural fibres like cotton, which biodegrade more easily
  • Crafted with lower-impact dyes and treatments

We also work to minimise offcuts and reuse materials where we can—so your bag isn’t just strong, it’s part of a conscious production cycle.


3. Supporting Local Matters

When you buy from us, you’re supporting:

  • A small Australian workshop (that’s us!)
  • Aussie textile mills that employ local workers
  • A regional supply chain that keeps money in our communities

We don’t outsource the tough stuff. Our workshop is where your gear is designed, cut, sewn, and packed—with care, by hand.


4. Long-Term Value Over Fast Fixes

Yes, you might find a cheaper bag online—but what’s the true cost?

  • Cheap canvas frays, tears, and leaks sooner
  • Imported products may not meet safety or quality standards
  • Fast-fashion gear ends up in landfill far too soon

A Naz Bag is made to last years, not months. Most of our customers return not because something wore out, but because they want a second or third bag!


Feel the Difference—Choose Quality

If you’ve ever handled a genuine Australian canvas bag, you’ll know the feel: thick, flexible, textured, and rugged. It’s the kind of material that says, “I’ve got your back,” whether you’re hammering up a trail or hauling gear through the bush.

We’re proud to support local, use ethical materials, and deliver tough, handcrafted gear that works hard—just like you.

Custom Panniers for Triumph Speed 400

Customer email from Adam. F: Hi Naz, can u quote please.  1 pair medium panniers but 1 only 250mm deep, other 300 as norm. All black with antique bronze hardware. Reason, upswept exhaust on right. Can we add horizontal strap and hardware like stubby pannier, like that look. 2x drink bottle holders in light sand also.

We made a set of Standard Panniers but one is 50mm shorter to account for the upswept pipe on his Triumph Speed 400. The Standard Panniers do not have the horizontal strap but we added one the same as on the Stubby Panniers.

27 pocket ring spanner roll

Customer email: I’m wondering if you are able to make a 27 pocket ring spanner bag?  Suitable to replace the following attached (see below)

Our reply: Thanks for your email. Are you able to take the spanners out, make it as flat as possible and then put a ruler below each row and up the side? 
We sure can make one and I will quote some time this week.
Quote: That would be $132 including postage for the same design as our Large spanner roll but in two rows and sized to fit https://www.nazbags.com.au/product/canvas-spanner-roll-large/. I have attached the colours available.

Work Apron for Beach Fishing

Email from James: “I am looking for an apron for beach fishing. 
I have seen your work aprons and they look fantastic, is there was a way to include a chest piece which would loop over the neck, something to protect my clothes smelling fishy when I pull a fish to my chest to take the hook out, but has pockets for pliers, rig cases etc. like your work aprons. 
I’ve seen solutions online, but I would prefer to support local, and love your work apron solution – well made, well priced and made in Australia!”

Our reply: I can add a bib to our apron with some extra pockets and a strap for your neck that fastens with d’s. 

That was quite literally what we did: added a bib to our work apron that had more pockets and a strap for the neck which fastens with d-rings. In reality upon drawing it up and making this canvas apron it really is just an apron for anything! Kitchen apron, workshop apron, gardening apron and, yes, a fishing apron.

Steel Pony Panniers

There used to be another Australian made offering for canvas panniers: Steel Pony Panniers. The Gascoyne panniers were listed as 37 x 23 x 44 = 37 litres which makes them very similar to our Big Fella Panniers. Steel Pony Panniers are mentioned on many a blog and forum from times past. I am not sure what happened to the business but the website is no longer available.

Embroidery / Personalised Items

Embroidered Logbook Covers

Many of our products have embroidered text as an option for personalisation. Most products can have it added as a custom order.

There are two different types of embroidery: Text in a range of font types and colours and Logos or pictures embroidered. Text is charged per sections of just letters and logos or pictures have a one-off set-up fee (currently $30) plus per item fee.

As we have the embroidery done out of house there is an increased wait time for embroidered items. This can be one or two weeks in some cases.

If an item with embroidery needs to be waterproof it is best sprayed with a waterproofing spray as the embroidery thread does not swell into the stitch holes in the way that the thread used for construction does.

Below are some of our products that often have embroidery added but pretty much any can be embroidered. Let your imagination run wild!
