Porteurs
Porteurs are large capacity front bags inspired by the racks (and cargo) used on the famed Parisian newspaper delivery bikes. These large bags are great when you need lots of capacity for whatever journey you'll be making. 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.

Waxwing Porteur
$350.00 - $390.00
Porteur bags are large capacity front bags inspired by the loads Parisian newspaper delivery men and women 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):
Short: 14" w x 8" h x 10" d $350
Med: 14" w x 9.5" h x 10" d $370
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.
Note: let me know what rack you plan to use so we can discuss an attachment plan

Waxwing Demi Porteur
$330.00 - $370.00
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 $330
12" w x 9.5" h x 8" d/ 13.2L $350
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. Add a set of RaClips and you'll have a really solid arrangement.
(Note: If your plan is to use the Flat Pack Rack, please let me know.
For the taller option you can use a conventional stem-mounted decaleur or request specific mount points below the top of the bag in the notes).
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.
