Stuff to Love

fAshIOnIsTa.(mErRy).{XmaS}.gIFt.IdEaS.(6)

Recall the post about our Downtown L.A. Fashionista on Traction near the Wurstküche?

Well, Mr. Fashionista, your velo-style inspiration has been jacked wide open.  I stumbled upon his backpack through a link from the very groovy site;  JJJJound.com.

As Mr. JJJJound demonstrates the highest in esthetic regard, applying the associative property of style influence [ (a•b)•c = a•(b•c)]  we can conclude Mr. Fashionista has subscribed to a groove. Q.E.D.

The bags are created by Makr Carry Goods at http://makr.com.

The back pack is the Farm Ruck Sack ($160.00)

The shoulder bag is the Farm Messenger Bag ($195.00)

If you’re gonna get in some urban city riding and trade a few automobile miles for commuting miles [you know you better jack-up your annual total on two wheels for bragging rights], you gotta get geared up for the convenience and fashion of moving around town on two wheels {in style}.  Also, it’s essential that you have a bag to keep the Bev-Mo goods stored for the ride home.

Makr Carry Goods offers some very distinctive items.

Personally, I love canvas but would prefer nylon to leather straps.  The leather closure straps on the bags look too dangly and give the bags a sloppy appearance.  Leather works well in some applications but often seems a throwback to early design ideals when applied as straps to bags for carrying stuff while on the bike.  I love the size and shape of these bags but the leather ruins it for me here.

Muy Fashionista Animaux!
