Carl, I hear you. Sometimes these objects do feel like they create an
exclusive culture. I would argue that they are just part of one of the many
bicycling subcultures that exist in our consumer capitalist culture.
However, those cyclists don’t represent the everyday bicyclist and those

Looked up Wald--nothing, Jandd has a Jandd-jp account with 428
followers. Swift has 57.2K followers, and there's no need to follow them
since their message is multiplied by influencers and happy customers.
Clearly it's up to the companies to do their marketing consistent with
their price
Are they at the groovy Instagram party? I follow bikey stuff I come across
there..albeit a small sample, I don't have an appetite for making that site a
big habit for me. I'd follow Wald for sure.

I agree with Eric and with most of the comments in response about the value
of the local bags. It's great that the market meets so many needs. What I
have issue with is the contradiction between wanting to widen the scope of
biking past the stereotypes (roadie, etc) but then pushing

I bought a full set of panniers and a saddlebag from Swift when they were still
working out of their house. I took the saddlebag in this summer to have the
snaps replaced which they did at no charge-great people to work with. Not
inexpensive, but I’d venture to guess that Wald’s labor costs are
Yeah their stuff is pretty expensive, but not over-priced. Might be
overkill for a lot of people though (not unlike a $1500 lugged steel
frameset ;) ). Pricing is definitely a product of quality of materials and
MUSA labour, and their stuff is more labour-intensive to make than a shop
sack,
I also think that Swift. Outer Shell, Ruthworks, ILE, etc. are priced to
allow livable wages where the bag makers live, which I think is a very
important factor.

Probably. I think Swift is priced on par with other USA bagmakers at similar
quality and size levels.

Hard to beat Wald or Carradice.
Swift is overpriced but great marketing, imo. I'll probably get criticized
for saying so...

I’m referring to any $200 bag made in San Francisco of organic hemp and
compostable plastic buckles, vs. the $50 Wald bag (and that cost includes
the basket).
Sorry, I just get a little burned out by bag preciousness :)

I don't have a shop sack, but I can offer a hearty endorsement for the Swift
Sugarloaf, which I've used as a daily carry for about four years now. It's more
expensive and smaller volume (I think), but also made in USA, top notch
quality, nearly waterproof, and has some organization pockets etc.
Thanks Justin, yes, I was referring to the Wald made bags. I am going to
be using my old Trek 412 as a fixed gear commuter/errand bike and I was
going to order a rack from Wald direct yesterday when I saw their bags.
Based on the feedback from Tim and Eric, I'm in for one. Thanks y'all.

I think Dave was asking about the Wald-made basket bags:

Riv's Sackville ShopSack large and medium are likely my favorite and most
used bags... for many things bike and not bike.
Medium is great for Wald 137; Large is v. large and fits Wald large basket.
Durable, water resistant (water can and does go through the zipper in
sustained rain). I like
Which are you referring to? Aside from Riv I found Troutman and Porcelain
Rocket when I searched. Thanks.

+1 to Tim’s comments. I have the bigger one that I use all the time, and I
really value it. Made in the USA too! I think these bags are both under
rated and overlooked as people spend a lot more money on fancier offerings.

They're great. I have both sizes. The medium is perfect for commuting. The
large is great if you need to snag something extra at the store. They hold up
to rain pretty well, especially if they aren't packed full and you can fold the
zipper over. Not fully waterproof in sustained hard rain. Very
Does anyone have the Wald bag they make for the 137 and 139? Just curious
as to how it is as I was debating getting one.
