Valuables always within sight and reach: practical leather handlebar bags

Handlebar bags are a great way to keep some of your travel gear within easy reach and sight . Your wallet, smartphone, camera, and provisions for the ride: everything will fit in these spacious and sturdy bags. And let's be honest, keeping your valuables in sight isn't such a bad idea, as is keeping your snack box full of fruit and other treats for between meals. This way, you can keep an eye on everything, even while enjoying your surroundings.

Handlebar bags also offer another advantage that you should embrace: they make good use of the otherwise completely unused space above your front wheel. And thanks to the widely used KLICKfix system, the high-quality Gusti leather handlebar bags can be mounted extremely quickly and securely , while also allowing you to quickly bring hand luggage along when stopping for a break or at your accommodation. And, last but not least: all of our larger handlebar bag models can also be worn as a backpack or shoulder bag .

Goat leather, cow leather or buffalo leather – which leather suits your needs?

Our range includes pannier bags made from three different types of leather. You can choose between:

• goatskin,
• Cowhide and
• Buffalo leather.
  
  

Goatskin handlebar bags are generally a bit stiffer at first, but quickly become very supple and soft with regular use. Cowhide and buffalo leather models, on the other hand, are somewhat more robust than goatskin due to their inherently stronger material. Even after some time, these leathers still feel a bit firmer in texture, although they will naturally soften as well. So decide for yourself which leather best meets your needs for your new handlebar bag.

Transparently produced – by Gusti Leder for you

Our product range is as diverse as our product lines, to which these products belong. The handlebar bags in the "Gusti Leder nature" line, for example, are entirely dedicated to sustainability. This line includes only those Gusti Leder products that are traditionally handcrafted from vegetable-tanned goatskin in small family businesses in India. Individuality and uniqueness are therefore not just empty phrases here; each individual product is truly unique.

Handlebar bags from the "Gusti Leder studio" line, meanwhile, impress with their functionality combined with a timeless, urban style that's right on trend. The leather for the products in this line is chemically tanned with chrome in certified facilities, making it particularly durable and dimensionally stable.

Gusti Leder works exclusively with factories in India and Italy that operate according to international labor and human rights standards . To ensure the consistently high quality of our leather products, we regularly commission sample tests from independent laboratories and conduct unannounced visits to the workplaces to verify compliance with contractually defined production and labor standards. In the event of violations of these standards, we act in accordance with our zero-tolerance policy and immediately terminate our cooperation with the affected factories.
