LustList >> Clare Vivier bags

As my dear friend Kristin put it perfectly, it's really difficult to find a bag in a gorgeous leather that's not barraged by logos.  I would add to that, and also doesn't have obnoxious hardware everywhere or other details you'll be sick of in approx. 3 months.  I'm after bags that'll last and that I'll still like ten years from now and will ideally only get better as they age.

Clare Vivier bags get it just right, especially the perfectly simple one above in that amazing leather.  Immediately on the LustList.

For when you need to strap a growler to your bike...

Or really, when you need to strap anything to your bike, but the growler adds to the overall effect...

A great product by Walnut Studiolo out of Portland, the leather "Strap Down" is a both functional and attractive addition to your bike... but then again I pretty much love anything that combines leather and buckles and/or stitching, and when it involves a bike, it becomes even more charming.

They also make aweseom handlebar wraps, available in two different color ways...

I personally like this one:

...and you might as well get a clever "can cage" for your pbr, or what-have-you, while you're at it.

I'm pretty sure if you have a cool bike and you trick it out with these accessories, you're automatically accepted in Portland...
