I love all the small hand-made bag companies in this thread! I still would rather get Sackville, personally, but they're all very nice. In a perfect world, Artifact Bags (right here in Omaha!) would make bicycle bags, but I've e-mailed and asked in person and am always told, "no." Oh well.

I love sackvilles too, and they are a spectacular deal, but if you want to go all in on handmade bags, check out Fogg bags. They are made by a great couple in southern France. I have one and it is exquisite. https://www.foggspecialistbags.com/ And I too am waiting for the backabikes to be back

Indeed, I've carried my Scotch, as well as my beer, in a grid-grey Sackville bag, and enjoyed both the riding and the imbibing. And my Scottish friends all agree. - Andrew, Berkeley On Monday, February 8, 2021 at 7:23:30 AM UTC-8 Edwin W wrote: > Especially when you compare them to some

No doubt! I adore the handmade bags that some other really cool companies put out (particularly Swift Industries), but the Sackville stuff is (to me) better looking overall and unquestionably a better value. I just wish the Backabike bags would come back soon...the longer they remain out of
