Don't make me (and my 1.3 billion friends) come over there!!!
I actually think brunop has the right idea, but I'd say don't just go domestic, go local -- look for a bag made in your immediate area. That way, you can get a nice bag, support a local business, and get good karma all at once. I'm not familiar with UK messenger bag companies, but I'm sure you can find something nice.
