Bicycle bag leather

Not only an eye-catcher, but also robust, weatherproof and suitable for the office - this simple bicycle bag made of vegetable tanned cowhide has the shape and format of a briefcase and is just as stable thanks to the strong material. Equipped with click closures at the back, the bag is easily and securely attached to the embossed carrier with two small handles. A leather flap covers it clothing-friendly when you are on foot. For this purpose, the bike bag can be carried comfortably by the carrying handle or by means of an adjustable shoulder strap. Two rotatable reflectors on the sides, which can be turned with the leather side out if necessary, ensure that you are seen even in the dark.

The large, unlined main compartment holds a laptop and A4 documents, while the front patch pocket holds small items like a pencil case, wallet and keys. Metal feet on the bottom protect the leather when you put the bag down. The two millimeter thick leather is finished with careful topstitching on the open edge. It is weatherproof and also withstands a rain shower, but so that everything inside really stays dry, a neon yellow rain cover is included - which also makes you more visible in cloudy weather. The bike bag is very easy to clean thanks to the solid materials, still treat the leather from time to time some care. Thus, the bag will accompany you for many years on the bike to the office.

"Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike", said John F. Kennedy, and Hill & Ellis also believes that cycling makes us happier and healthier. Cycling happiness is made perfect with the right equipment - such as the bicycle bag, which proves its worth in every undertaking with its material and design, functionality and aesthetics: on the way to the office as well as during a leisure tour.

In product development, it is not an isolated case that a design is born out of a feeling of lack. This was also the case for Londoner Catherine Ellis, who has always been a passionate cyclist, when she searched in vain for a bicycle bag that was as functional as it was aesthetically convincing: solid and durable, comfortable on the bike and even off the bike with that discreet chic that makes for a stylish appearance at a meeting or in a café. As a graduate of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Ellis then designed a bag that met her high standards - as well as those of commuters and leisure cyclists. In 2012, she founded the company Hill & Ellis, which quickly established itself and attracted lasting attention even in the fast-changing world of style and fashion. The reasons for this are obvious - or rather: in your hand, because every bag at Hill & Ellis is cut and sewn, stamped and riveted by hand. The craftsmanship is based on extensive European know-how: selected leathers from Italy, Scotland and the Netherlands, luggage carrier clips designed in Germany and fasteners and rivets plated in Northampton are processed in the London workshop. As meticulous as the craftsmanship is, every detail of the design has been thought through to ensure that the bags can be used as bike, business and leisure accessories alike. And thanks to their high-quality materials and production, they will continue to fulfill their function in style for a very long time.
