Dad in his infinite business wisdom has decided to move away from just selling blank media, and is going to move onto bicycle accessories.

He's Swedish in Stockholm - and Stockholm being the flat hipster paradise it is - I think he should be marketing to the fakenger gang and selling a courier bag with his logo on it.

BUT which not-crazy-expensive plain-ish messenger bag should he sell?

Discuss!

    not really sure what i'm supposed to be looking at on that link.

    However, I use a karrimor messenger bag. Lots o pockets, lots of space and the all important waist strap to keep the bag from moving around your back when you are riding.

    Whats the plan? Buy in established brand items and sell them, buy generic bags from a wholesaler and get them branded or a mixture of the two?

    I used to know of companies that would design a bag to your specification, add your logo and print catalogues (showing my age now). If you want, I'll try and dig out the contact details of a company I used in the late 90s to make record bags for a major club brand and sports car manufacturer.

    I still use the record bag over 10 years later. No longer to carry records though, stuff for work when I have lots to carry. High quality stuff.

    If he's selling to fakengers, how about some ironic t-shirts too?

  • I've got one of these:

    A Pakuma Choroka. It's good, and not too expensive. It has a nice padded laptop sleeve, a variety of other pockets, and places for your water bottle. I like it.
