The leather saddle bag has been part of cycling for generations. It’s one of those classic bicycle accessories that never really goes out of style. When we set out to create our own, we wanted to keep the traditional look but add a few details that make it easier to use on modern rides.
Brompton riders need compact gear that clicks on and off quickly, survives rain and daily commuting, and doesn’t get in the way when the bike is folded. Everything in this article is designed with that in mind.
The struggle of finding the right handlebar tape is real. Foam wears out, cotton frays, synthetic tapes just don’t feel right. And when you care about your bike and performance— the choice of tape matters. A lot.
At Souma Leather, we design bike bags that combine craftsmanship with function — whether you're riding a folding Brompton through the city or taking your vintage steel bike on a weekend tour.
That’s why we use Tenax® fasteners across both our Brompton bags and saddle bags for classic bikes. They're not just stylish — they’re secure, reliable, and made for riders who notice the details.
