Waxwing Porteur
$340.00 - $380.00
Porteur bags are large capacity front bags inspired by the loads Parisian newspaper deliverymen carried when that's how newspapers were distributed through the city. Porteur bags are great when you just know you want lots of room to carry stuff. I prefer a larger bag in the cold months when I'm likely to be carrying multiple layers of clothes, more food, and other just-in-case extras. This bag design is envisioned to pair with a porteur rack.
Sizes (excluding exterior pockets):
Medium: 12" w x 9.5" h x 9" d /16L $340
Tall: 12" w x 12" h x 9" d /21L $360
The bag features a choice of large pleated flat or dimensional front pocket, two rear pockets, D-rings for carrying strap, backstop sleeve and a map case. Elastic closures on all the pockets and inner flap round out the design. Choose your color, hardware and we'll get your bag on it's way to you.

Waxwing-Weigle Sportif
$270.00 - $340.00
This innovative bag was designed by Peter Weigle and brought to life in a collaboration between Peter and myself here at Waxwing. Peter’s goal: have a shape that lightened up the bag both visually and in weight and didn’t bury his lovely racks while maintaining the usefulness of the map case found on standard bags. Lesser-used items like tools and a spare tube sit at the bottom of the bag, keeping the weight low and centered. Jackets, food and other frequently needed stuff goes in the upper portion of the bag.
Short: 10" w x 8" h x 5" d (300 cu. in./4.9 l) $270
Medium: 10" w x 9.5" h x 5" d (356 cu. in./5.8 l) $280
Tall: 10" w x 11" h x 5" d (413 cu. in./6.75 l)$290
The bag features side sleeves, large pleated front pocket, elastic closures, D-rings for carrying strap, backstop sleeve and a map case. Elastic closures and inner flap round out the design. Choose your color, hardware and we'll get your bag on it's way to you.
Optional Pencil Pocket sits in the top back of bag for a bit of covered storage that's easy to access while moving (held in place with a band of velcro, sot it's removeable) $30

Waxwing Demi Porteur
$320.00 - $350.00
The demi porteur is the way to go when you want more capacity than the standard handlebar bag isn't quite enough. Many riders want to have "enough room" for all the circumstances they'll encounter day-to-day and that might just be a demi porteur.
Available in two heights:
Sizes (excluding exterior pockets):
12" w x 8" h x 8" d/ 11.7L $320
12" w x 9.5" h x 8" d/ 13.2L $330
This bag is specifically sized to fit perfectly on the Velo Orange Flat Pack rack, which is their offering for a demi porteur rack--that range between a randonneur and a full porteur rack. The height of the short option matches the built in decaleur of the rack, so the pairing is seamless. With the taller options you'll want to use the U shaped backstop and a conventional backstop sleeve or have me place mount points to meet the fixed height of the decaleur bracket.
The bag features a choice of large pleated flat or dimensional front pocket, two rear pockets, D-rings for carrying strap, backstop sleeve and a map case. Elastic closures on all the pockets and inner flap round out the design. Choose your color, hardware and we'll get your bag on it's way to you.
