Sackville ShopSack (updated! for late 2025!)

In the 1990s nobody put Wald baskets on good bikes except us. We carried groceries in them, sometimes in the paper bags or plastic sacks or day packs. Do that enough and you figure out that a simple closeable tote is better. The handles help. Make it to fit Wald baskets, and there you go. Ten years ago we added a small pocket on the inside, and mid-September of 2025 we made the handles slightly adjustable, so you can carry it without dragging, or sling it over your shoulder like a beauty queen's sash or a gunman's bandolier. We've also removed the reflective tape on the front of the bag.

For touring, shopping, or commuting, if you have a bike with a rack and basket, a Sackville ShopSack will make them all easier and more secure and weatherproof. (In a hard rain, we turn ours upside down.)

ShopSacks are wider than the are tall, so they're easy to load and unload. They have handles made of the best U.S.-made military spec webbing that will never, ever crap out on you, a zipper to hold everything inside, and the aforementioned pocket for small things.

We make it with the best dry-waxed cotton we can find in the world, and military-spec webbing, also the best. While many latecomers to the basket bag game have festooned theirs with extra features that jack up the price and seem more useful than they are, we've kept ours Sackville simple (a characteristic of all of our bags). You'll never wish for a feature it doesn't have.

Two sizes. The medium ShopSack fits the medium Wald basket, and the large Shopsack fits the big Wald basket. If you have another basket, it may not fit it. Since the bags smoosh and crumple when you need them to, a big one fits in the medium basket, no problem. We recommend a basket net, regardless. It's not necessary, but it seems like a good idea over bumps, and even on a smooth road, it keep grabbable things like food, water bottles, hats, and maps handy for on-the-bike snatches.

99% of the staff use them for commuting daily; Grant, Roman, James, Sergio, and Will all use one as a camping bag; Will and Sergio use one as an airplane bag.
