Luggage carrier bag cowhide

This exceptional luggage carrier bag is one of a series of bicycle bags and accessories that we have developed together with Greenbelts®. We have it made from the same supple cowhide as the Greenbelts® bags in our line, a soft yet very strong leather that is finished with an open edge. The lush use of materials and the accurate finish using topstitching, in turn, ensure durability and stability. In terms of design, we have taken the old Swiss army bags as a model: simple, downright pragmatic purist, solid and designed purely for the purpose, with the characteristic rivets and ball-button closures on the straps.

The bike bag is a universal load carrier, which can also be used for leisure and office. Because here the bag makes not only visually something: In the large main compartment laptop and A4 documents or even times smaller purchases find space. Two pockets hold small items. Thanks to hammerhead handle on the leather-reinforced lid, the bike bag can be carried well when you are on foot. Optionally, you can also attach a shoulder strap that can be ordered separately.
For the bike ride, the bag is simply mounted on the luggage rack via two straps with ball-button closures. Here it withstands wind and weather, because the robust, vegetable-tanned and barrel-dyed leather is weatherproof and, in addition to daily use and heavy wear, can also withstand a rain shower. And to keep everything dry inside, the lid is crafted with folded edges. And if you give the leather from time to time the appropriate care, luggage carrier bag and your bike will be an unbeatable team for life.

The Greenbelts® label manufactures natural leather products that are produced fairly, follow the idea of conserving resources and want to give their owners pleasure for a long time. Founder Rolf Ihmels is behind the Osnabrück-based brand. He has been in the industry for a long time and has his current profession in his genes, so to speak - belts were already being made in his parents' company, which was still operating conventionally. In 2005, Ihmels set up his own brand. His commitment to manufacturing in a way that conserves resources as much as possible is already reflected in the location. The factory is not a new building, but a former joinery for solid wood furniture and obtains its electricity from renewable energy sources. Only vegetable-tanned full-grain cowhide from European tanneries that guarantee all relevant environmental standards is processed into belts and bags right next to the offices. These are solid, honest leathers that do not need to be lined or padded - you can feel, see and smell it in the finished product. And they are leathers that can return to the natural material cycle after use. Ihmels takes the approach that every piece of leather he processes was once the skin of a living being and should be respected and honored accordingly. For this reason, he makes every effort to process the leather in such a way that its value is preserved over a long period of time.
