DESIGN
Iris and Foskea first met back in 2020 and Iris was immediately impressed by the custom bike bags Foskea made under her brand Traevel Atelier. Foskea is a world cycle travelling enthusiast who is very skilful behind the sewing machine. They run a creative workshop in Utrecht where they make custom bags, each one tailored to their clients’ needs.
In 2021 we co-created our first batch of bar bags, made from recycled materials. It was a huge success! The bags turned out to be so popular that the demand was much higher than the materials – and especially the time – available to make them.
As you can imagine, we are so stoked to join forces again on this project! This time the bags are constructed out of two different colours of X-Pac and a contrasting Ripstop liner. Every bag is hand-sewn by Traevel Atelier using different shape combinations, making each piece totally unique – just like you! Like our previous collaboration, the roll top bags can be used as both a bar bag, cross-body or bum bag, thanks to the handy strap included. The bag can be converted to wear however you like… even when you’re not on your bike.
