    Design Details

    The ultimate bike bag - a pannier, tote and rucksack all-in-one.  It transforms easily between modes, is big enough to get you through the day (but not too big) and has lots of features we think you'll love. 

    We spoke to our customers before setting out to design it to make sure it was large enough to take everything they normally carried but not so large as to take everything they sometimes carried.

    In wearer trials, the bag was regularly used to carry a combination of work stuff (laptop, A5 note book, chargers), yoga kit (leggings, top, sweatshirt), bike equipment (lights and gloves), a small cosmetics bag, water bottle, coffee cup and various essentials (wallet, phone, keys and glasses.).

    Dry-oiled organic cotton is showerproof and durable

    Undyed organic cotton lining

    Two generous 18cm front pockets, each easily holding an average reusable water bottle 

    Reflective tapes stitched into each front pocket that can be pulled out in the dark

    The main bag is closed with solid zip

    A 20cm zipped interior pocket easily fits a phone, keys and wallet

    Internal laptop sleeve fits a 15" laptop

    Adjustable webbing straps serve as both the tote's handle and the rucksack's shoulder straps

    Adjustable pannier clips fit virtually all pannier racks

    Cotton webbing grab handle

    Wool padding in the base, back, laptop sleeve, and pannier clip cover to protect you and your belongings

    The padded flap with magnetic snap ensures the pannier clips aren't felt when used as a tote or rucksack

    Durable, premium stainless steel hardware from Italy, including ladder locks from Alce, snaps from AMF and zips from Lampo

    Subtle Vaela branding embroidered in 'tone on tone' black thread

    Sustainability

    We have focused our efforts on making a bag that works hard, looks great and is made of sustainable materials. It's a sophisticated design and it's taken us longer and more prototypes to a final product than we'd originally anticipated.  However, we're now very happy with it indeed.

    For additional information on the items listed, please see our sustainability pages or contact us.
