Grey Martexin Water Resistant Randonneur Handlebar Bag




Flowers, hearts, pink, red, burgundy, and grey all made for a very pretty little bag. My wife is jealous. 
Clear inside pocket with velcro closure, D- loops for a shoulder strap, map case, 3-D rear and front pockets, flat side pockets, inside  sleeves for stiffeners, 2" velcro straps on the bottom to attach to a rack, slot in the rear to attach to a rack "tombstone". 

Black Randonneur Bag

Map case, 3-D front and rear pockets, internal clear pocket. 24oz cotton duck (I can no longer get this fabric), ballistic 1040 denier cordura, and brass.

This one is going to Boston.

Tan and Leather Randonneur Bag

Brass double hook closure on the inside.

I like this size a lot. 
Inspired by a lot of photos of Sologne style bags that Joe sent me. Thanks Joe, see what you did? 
Single eyelet envelope flaps, map case, very thick leather for decaleur mounting.


Well, Joe took some nice pictures, they are here: Joe's Pics.

Bags waiting for the new machine.

Handlebar bags, panniers, backpacks, tool rolls, wallets, all waiting for the new machine. Some are very close to completion, six are in the early stages of layout. There are six jobs waiting for fabric to arrive, and a few more waiting for final details and payment, before I start them. I would be much happier if all of these bags were with their owners right now, instead of my couch! But now is the time to be patient. In the meantime, I'll keep cutting and prepping.

PInk and Burgundy

This is pink.
The trim is Burgundy.
The little black leather thing has some pink Tex70 B69 thread.
Luckily, the best industrial sewing place in town is ten blocks from my home, Apparel City, and they have a good selection of thread.
