Carradice was founded by Wilf Carradice, an avid cyclist who couldn’t find the right gear for his journeys. Frustrated by the lack of reliable options, he set out to create his own bags, starting with a hand-sewn saddlebag made from the sturdiest materials he could find. The quality of his work quickly attracted attention, and it wasn’t long before he was making bags for other cyclists. Today, Carradice continues this legacy, with every bag still handcrafted in our workshop in Nelson.

While we hold fast to the traditions of craftsmanship, we are constantly innovating to meet the needs of modern cyclists. Our range of products includes everything from classic saddlebags to contemporary panniers, handlebar bags, and bikepacking gear, all designed to be functional, stylish, and versatile.

Whether you're a daily commuter, a weekend adventurer, or an international touring cyclist, Carradice has the perfect bag for your journey. Our designs incorporate feedback from real cyclists to ensure practicality and comfort, while still maintaining the classic look that has made us a beloved brand for decades.
