Hej,
as mentioned some days ago, i’m happy to finally introduce the AURORA Compact Messenger Bag to you.
I’m really proud of this release, because it took a lot time and effort to develop the construction, pattern and features of the bag. After years of using/owning several messenger bags/backpacks, researching and 1,5 years testing the first prototype, I had many ideas and saw a lot problems to face. I think I solved most of them really good and i’m really happy with this one.
For me it is perfect for everyday use, commuting, short trips and also for carrying larger and bulky goods. It is really tough and versatile, but it’s still a compact Bag.
Besides your daily essentials it takes your DIN A4 writing pad, iPad and also a Macbook (Air 11″/13″ or Pro 13″).

To make it something special and stand out from the crowd, i’ve added a lot features you just rarely find on other bags.
Especially the Strap System on the flap is pretty unique and very useful. With the included Straps you can securely fasten Bike Polo Mallets, a Mailing Tube, Golf Clubs, a sleeping bag, your wet bike gear after a shower and much more. If you need some more space you can also lengthen the snap buckles on the flap with the additional Straps and put some larger stuff in.

Check out the features of the AURORA Compact Messenger Bag:
- Made of 1100D Cordura (DuPont)
- Tarpaulin lining
- 3 outer pockets, one with YKK velcro closure
- 1 inner pocket with YKK velcro closure
- D-Ring for your keys
- two snap buckles on the flap
- reversible shoulder strap with quick release
- AURORA Strap Systeme on the flap, including two Straps with snap buckles
and one additional loop on the bottom of the bag.
- Blinky light loop
- High Quality hardware by Duraflex, ITW Nexus, YKK and MakeFast
- Volume: 10,5 Liter

Size (approx. flat measurement):
Width: 32 cm (bottom) / 50 cm (top)
Height: 22 cm (front)
Depth: 15 cm (bottom)

This Bag is proudly Handmade in Germany and every bag is built-to-order,
so please allow 2-4 weeks until it ships.
I’m doing my best to sew as much as possible in the next weeks to have them on stock.
But due to other jobs and being a student I can’t really plan this.

I hope you like AURORAs first attempt in serious Bag Biz and I look forward to the first feedback and reviews. Get yours here.

Thanks.

Sebastian

P.S.: I got some impression from the Maikätzchen VIII last weekend in Hannover. Will try to upload them this week.

My friends in Hannover are proud to host the 8th Maikätzchen Alleycat and BikePolo event this weekend. I’ve been in Hannover the last 2 years and it was always great. So I bet this year will be a blast again. Looking forward to meet a lot of you guys again and of course party hard with you.
And by the way, we teamed up with the good people at Red Se7en (on facebook). They provide us with a lot super nice home-made rhubarb-vanilla liqueur, which will be available at the after-race party.

Like the last years we are sponsoring the awesome Maikätzchen Alleycat in Hannover again. This is going to be a blast. Can’t wait. Check out the trailer with footage from the last years event.

Hope to see a lot of you guys there.

Good times!

Hej,
we have the chance to show our work at the “Fahrradschau” Bicycle Fair in Berlin on 3rd/4th of March.
The kind people at Force Effect offered us some space at their booth and we agreed.
No idea how this is going to be, but we are really excited.
It is rumored that we will bring a lot new colorways of our V1 and V2 Velcro Straps with us and a lot AURORA gear for special prices. So save some bucks and visit us. We are planning some more nice stuff and maybe also bring one of the most beautiful bicycles in the world with us to the show.
Worth a visit… promised!

Sebastian.
