Apologies to all Parisians, Milanese and Londoners, but Berlin is undoubtedly Europe’s coolest city. It’s got the best beer, the best club scene and the most laid-back culture. Bikes are also a big deal there: apparently, Berlin has around 710 bicycles per 1,000 residents. So, it was only natural that Chrome built a bike messenger bag called the ‘Berlin’. But that also meant it had to be as cool as its namesake. Luckily, they delivered. Precision engineered for urban carry, this is a super fantastisch gear hauler that boasts an impressive 47 litres of capacity. The inside liner is crafted from truck tarpaulin, while the iconic metal ‘seatbelt’-style quick release buckle saves you from having to pull the strap of a heavy bag over your head. Look closely and you’ll also see it has a hidden extra – an integrated bottle opener so you can crack open a cold pilsner or a Berliner weisse after a hard day’s riding
Sustainability through Longevity - Chrome makes incredibly durable products built to last a lifetime. They stand behind the quality of their bags with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing and material defects.
Over two decades ago, Chrome made their first bag using a Juki sewing machine, a few yards of industrial-grade nylon, some military grade truck tarpaulin and a seatbelt buckle salvaged from an old car. That original messenger bag with its signature buckle was soon adopted by bike couriers across the globe and became an urban icon.
Today, Chrome Industries remain committed to making useful, durable gear for people who live, work and ride in the city. Everything they do celebrates the beating heart of the city and the unique collisions of creativity, culture and community that form the essential elements of urban life. These products are purpose-built for those who work hard, play hard and ride hard.
