Q: Let’s start with the bag itself. What makes the Half Circle Bamboo Bike Bag special?

See the stylish bike basket everyone's waiting for.

A: I think when you look at it right away, you understand that this is not just an ordinary basket. This is a fashion basket!

But seriously, it’s just one of those pieces that instantly elevates my whole look even if I'm just riding to the farmers’ market. The shape is iconic, inspired by vintage bamboo baskets from the seventies. Except this version is actually made for your bike. You can mount it right to your handlebars or rear rack and it holds your essentials with style.

This is more than just a functional carrier, it's a stylish bike basket that turns heads.

The bamboo slats give it structure without weight. The leather straps are strong. And it just looks… gorgeous! It’s not trying too hard. It’s just beautiful.

Q: When did you first realize this bag needed to exist?

A: I kept seeing these half-moon bamboo handbags in the hands of style influencers and thought, why isn’t that on a bike yet? For my bike accessories, I'm always looking for something to blend form and function. Ideally, it'll be something chic enough to wear off the bike but rugged enough to withstand the rigors of riding around.

The moment I saw my first prototype strapped to a bike, I knew. It made the bike look so styled.

Q: You’ve been sold out for a while. What happened?

A: Honestly? I underestimated how many people were waiting for something like this.

I hate waste so I generally only produce a limited run. This last batch went faster than I expected. And since I’m a small business, it takes time to get the next batch just right. But yes, they’re finally coming back! In 4–5 weeks, if all goes smoothly.

If you're looking for a stylish bike basket that doesn't compromise on looks or utility, this is it.

Q: You’ve seen so many customers style this bag their own way. What’s been your favorite look so far?

A: That’s the best part, seeing the bag in real life, in real routines. Some of my favorites:

  • This dreamy shot from @pamela.ziemann in a field of wildflowers with her e-bike. It’s very “bicycle cottagecore.”

  • The ultra-chic, retro city look with brogues, helmet, and a tailored blazer at the Tweed Ride in San Francisco.

  • And of course, Bianka's summer dress moment with white sneakers, modern-day picnic dream.

Q: What’s your personal favorite way to wear or use the bag?

A: I ride with mine on the front of my commuter bike, ideally carrying a bottle of sparkling rosé!

It fits my phone, wallet, sunscreen, a packable shopping bag… and there’s still room for a burrito if I’m lucky.

It’s the only stylish bike basket I’ve ever used that makes me feel like I’m arriving somewhere instead of just showing up.

Q: When will it be back in stock — and how can people make sure they don’t miss it?

A: If all goes well, it’ll be back in stock in about 4 or 5 weeks. But quantities will still be limited. If you want early access (before the public restock announcement), join the waitlist below. I’ll email you the moment it’s live.
