The next thing...
The next Zugster bag design is a rolltop backpack, a style of backpack that’s become very popular over the last two years. Rolltops create something a little akin to a labyrinth seal, making it more difficult for rain water to seep its way into your bag by way of the main opening.
I’ve been wanting to make one for myself, and finally found the time after completing the last batch of stock rando bags this past weekend.
Last Day for December Orders
If you’re looking for a last-minute present for the black sheep, I mean bike geek, of the family, Thursday 12/23 is the last day to order for shipping in December (although that will be too late for delivery by 12/25). Anything ordered after 12/23 will ship on Monday, January 3rd.
Stock Rando Bags are sold out
UPDATE: And, just like that, they’re sold out. Thanks to everyone who ordered! There will be a larger batch available again in January if you wanted one but missed out.
Rando Bag Sneak Peek

And with good reason, if you ask me — this is some fantastic stuff! And it’s become very popular for laptop and other gadget sleeves.
A note on international shipping...
I think I’ve fixed the worst under-estimating issue in my PayPal shipping settings. The reality of the matter is that with the very simple PayPal shopping cart I’m using, getting the shipping calculation correct for multiple items or international shipping can be tricky.
Walkabout Mark IV Details posted
I’ve just posted details on the “Mark IV”, the latest revision to the Walkabout walking bag design.
New Stock Available
If you’ve been following my Twitter feed, Facebook page, flickr stream, or RSS feed, you’ll be aware that I’ve been working on sewing up some stock bags. I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries as to when those will be available (and what will be available), so here’s the skinny.
UPDATE: Go get ‘em!
Four Day Weekends are the Best
I love four-day weekends. The current contents of my work desk are – 4 satchels, 3 roll-top totes, 25 tool pouches, two nearly-done standard messenger bags with all the trimmings. It’s nice to have a big stack of productivity again! Up next – a roll-top backpack, and possibly some rando bags…
