It’s a reference we first wanted to develop for our travels. It’s generously sized, waterproof and sturdy, and you can hang it on your coat hanger. Personally, we put in it a warm layer, a camera, our papers, and we keep it with us when we stop for a coffee or a welsh. We also use it on a daily basis because we love its face, so we can’t wait to see how you incorporate it into your outfits! Just remember to give it a quick wipe-down between a muddy outing and a date.

The main volume of around 5 liters is structured with foam. You’ve got 3 interior pockets at your fingertips, plus an exterior pocket with watertight closure and gusseted pockets for water bottles or peanut butter. You’ll also find “MOLLE” attachments everywhere. The two straps under the bag allow you to attach a jacket or tent pegs. Its stability on handlebars is ensured by three attachment points. Depending on the configuration of your riding position (to move the bag away from the handlebars to give space to hands, or away from headtube to avoid compressing the housings), a pack of 6 bonus spacers is available as an option. A third-point strap is also available to stabilize your bag when weared across the body.

La Grande Banane is handmade in Strasbourg by the superb Libre Objet team, using truck tarpaulins and technical fabrics from dead stocks. If your bag has a scratch, just send it back to the workshop for repair!
