Our Take on the Traditional Leather Saddle Bag

Our Take on the Traditional Leather Saddle Bag

The leather saddle bag has been part of cycling for generations. It’s one of those classic bicycle accessories that never really goes out of style. When we set out to create our own, we wanted to keep the traditional look but add a few details that make it easier to use on modern rides.

A Smarter Closure

Most leather saddle bags use buckles. They look fine, but they can be fiddly when you just want quick access. That’s why we chose a Tenax fastener instead.

Originally developed for marine and automotive use, the Tenax closure is designed to hold firm even under vibration and tough conditions. On a bike, that means two things:

• It stays secure while you ride.

• It opens and closes with a simple press, no straps to fuss with.

Two Sizes, Two Purposes

• Small saddle bag — discreet and compact, perfect for carrying essentials like a multitool, tube, or keys.

• Large saddle bag — made with a special attachment to fit the ABUS Bordo lock securely. The lock sits inside without rattling, so you can bring it along without extra bulk or noise.

Built to Last

We make each bag from full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, sourced in Italy. The seams are stitched on a special machine from the 1960s, a sturdy piece of German engineering that’s still running in our workshop today. It’s a small piece of history, and it gives every bag both strength and character.

Over time, the leather develops a patina, giving your saddle bag its own unique look the more you ride.

Classic Bike Accessory, Made Practical

Our saddle bag is our take on a true cycling classic. It’s a piece of traditional style reimagined — still a leather bicycle accessory with timeless character, but with small updates that make it practical for everyday use.

If you’re looking for bike accessories that combine craftsmanship, durability, and thoughtful details, this leather saddle bag is designed for you.
