Swift Panniers

Fuck yeah that rules!  I’ve been wanting something besides plastic Ortliebs and wool Rivendells for years and the day has finally come true.   Here’s some text from their website:

Swift Industries is a two-person project run out of Seattle, Washington. We design bicycle panniers and hand-craft our bags from the very first cut to the very last stitch. We’re two kids who love bicycles, relish adventure, and have deep admiration for high quality craft. Swift Industries is the perfect project for us to fuse all three.

What you do: customize the colors and details on your Swift Industries panniers. Check out the side panel for color options, ordering information and design details.

Scroll down to keep updated on Seattle-based bicycle events, and bicycle-touring ideas.

We’re working hard to get you outfitted for your next trip or dabbling about town. Thanks for checkin us out!

You can order customized panniers and tool satchels through their website.  I’m hoping to set aside some cash in the early spring of next year and have them in for the ‘09 summer touring season.
