Chrome: London Transport

We had the pleasure of seeing these bags in person at Interbike 2011. Good looking bags, the tweed really set the designs off.
I wonder what the LA series will look like, if they do an LA series?


Details from Chrome:

Introducing the London Transport Citizen & Yalta, inspired by the land of tweed, punk and pilsner. The Chrome City Series is our take on the unique materials, graphic treatments and methods that define the culture and lifestyle of a selected city. The LT Citizen and Yalta are made with bomb-proof coated technical tweed that references the look of the 19th century with the performance of today. The inside liner features a custom Victorian-inspired print by Brooklyn-based Flavor Paper and the leather front panel on the Citizen is embossed with our iconic logo.

Chrome: Niko

Chrome has a new utility bag, the "Niko". It's a sling camera bag. Pretty smart for them
to come out with this bag. So many Cyclists are photohounds and are forever looking for ways to carry
all that crap. Check out more details and a contest that Chrome is running along with the release.
