Minimal Golf, known as MNML in the US with bags like the MV2, has launched in the UK and one bag the brand hopes will resonate with discerning, dedicated golfers. The brand's name comes from its efforts to create quality golf bags with minimal impact on the environment. Its bags are made from Seawastex nylon, constructed using abandoned fishing nets. Alongside the Terra SE1 stand, the Gaia TE1 cart bag are the first two bags its selling in the UK.
The first thing worth noting is that there are no zips on this bag. Minimal realized that the biggest reason for bags breaking and being returned is faulty zippers. Such breakages can make a bag unusable, so they decided to get rid of them altogether with a view to making its bags last longer and forcing people to buy less. The principle is the same on the brand's stand bag - the Terra SE1 - and it makes for an altogether easy experience when accessing pockets. Magnetic pockets are quicker to get in and out of, and definitely add a premium feel to the bag.
