New bike bags for the ladies - Made in Chicago!

Hi Chainlinkers,
I wanted to let you know about our new bike bags. After years of riding around Chicago, we were ready for some more fashionable gear. When we couldn't find anything, we decided to make it ourselves. These bags come in two sizes (Rack bag for going to work, handlebar bag for going out) and are made of remnants of outdoor upholstery fabric, coated nylon and nickel plated hardware. AND they are made in Chicago. A handful of Chicago stores and online merchants will be carrying them this summer. Check out our website at: www.pocampo.com and pass the word!

By the way - any ideas for helping get the word out would be much appreciated!

Maria-

you can add pictures to the discussion here by clicking on the camera icon (top right icon) so everyone can see pictures of the bags. Good luck!

Love the recycled feature!

I thought I used the camera icon - are the photos not showing up?

And to clarify - the bags aren't made of recycled fabric, but remnants of fabric. The material is new, but probably considered excess by the industry.

Thanks!
