Brooks England Now Makes Bike-Friendly Bags, and They’re Phenomenal

Brooks England, the 150-year-old heritage brand behind those lovely leather bicycle saddles, just debuted a new line of bags. Dubbed the Metropolitan Collection, it’s a fetching and functional range of backpacks, briefs and totes designed for long cross-city bike rides.

Our favourite piece, though, is this pitch perfect weekender holdall. Just the right size for a couple days’ worth of stuff, it’s made in Italy from an organic, water-resistant cotton textile, with riveted, vulcanized handles and a comfortable shoulder strap that can be stowed away when you aren’t cycling.
