If your loved one cycles to work or simply likes to look the part when cycling for leisure, then the Hill & Ellis bags are the perfect gift…
FOR THE BROMPTON-RIDING COMMUTER
If your loved one rides a Brompton bicycle, you will be aware that the iconic folding bike is perfect for so many journeys. However, if they also have lot to carry with them, the lack of space for a pannier bag may be a problem. But not anymore. Hill & Ellis, creators of functional and versatile fashion-forward pannier bags that transition from the bike to the boardroom to the bar, now has a range of rucksack/totes designed specifically for the Brompton. The perfect gift which is both stylish and extremely useful.
The bags attach to the Brompton bike using the Borough bag frame which slides into a back panel and is secured with Velcro straps. Each bag has patented magnetic Fidlock snap bag closures for ease and security, internal zip pockets for easy organisation and a padded laptop sleeve which fits up to a 15inch laptop – perfect for the work commute.
The roll top rucksack cycling bag has interchangeable handles so it can be worn as a rucksack or tote/shoulder bag – making it one of the most versatile cycling bags on the market. All the bags are crafted in black water-resistant canvas with the choice of four front pocket colours in either leather or vegan, eco-friendly faux leather made from apple skin waste left over from cider production.
The bags are available at independent cycle shops on the high street and online, and direct from Hill & Ellis via their website:

Hill & Ellis has the perfect gift for other family members too:
FOR HIM: British Made Satchel Panniers
These pannier bags are a modern twist on the classic school satchel, beautifully crafted in quality leather with striking colour combinations. They are handmade by expert artisans in a small workshop in London using materials sourced as close to the workshop as possible. They seamlessly attach to the bike with hidden pannier hooks and their versatile design makes then ideal for the commute, the office and the bar after work. These bags can also be hand debossed with a name or initials to add the perfect personal touch.

FOR HER: Canvas Tote Panniers
Just like Hill & Ellis leather bike bags, The Canvas Collection is stylish and functional in equal measure. Unlike traditional pannier bags, these bags have not only been created to attach to your bike when cycling, they can be unclipped and slung over your arm or shoulder when you head into the office. They are stylish enough for a business meeting, cool enough for drinks after work, and wholly practical for the cycle home afterwards.

FOR CHILDREN (AND THE YOUNG AT HEART): Wicker bicycle baskets
Standing out against the crowd, these baskets are handmade in natural wicker by artisans in Portugal, in small batches to guarantee their quality and craftsmanship. To make the baskets uniquely special, they are hand painted in England with initials, names or a favourite nickname. The paints are eco-friendly and water-based. The designs are super-durable too as they are all sealed with an eco-friendly lacquer meaning it will last ride after ride after ride.
