Seat Barrel Bag
A stylish leather seat bag for your bike, designed with classy antique steamer trunks and St. Bernard barrels in mind. Also called "The Seat Trunk" Hand-finished, hand-stitched thick and stiff vegetable-tanned leather attaches to your bike with leather straps that thread through the seat rail, Brooks seat springs, or through saddle eyelets. Comes with a second attachment point to help secure the bag, which is optional to use: a set of holes with a leather cord for a belt-and-suspenders technique. We have tied it around the seat post or through the springs of a sprung saddle, but it can be used in any way that makes the most sense on your bike. You can thread a zip tie through the string holes as a theft deterrent and as a second anchor point. Or you don't have to use it at all. Stays shut with a "common sense" hardware closure. Sides are made of aromatic Northwest-grown FSC-certified cedar. The leather pictured here is dark brown in the 1st and 3rd pictures, and honey in the 2nd and 4th pictures. COLORS: Honey, Dark Brown, Black MATERIALS: Vegetable-tanned leather, FSC-certified cedarwood, nickel-plated steel hardware DIMENSIONS: 7" wide by 4 1/2" diameter MONOGRAMMING: Yes!

Hi, I'm Geoffrey Franklin. I'm an 8th generation Oregonian, born and raised in Beaverton and Weston, Oregon. I graduated from the University of Oregon Architecture School. I run Walnut Studiolo with my wife, Valerie. I design and craft all the products in my workshop, and Valerie runs the business side.
Bicycle accessories are my core focus but I love good design, as an architecture student, and I loved learning how to work leather as a medium. Eventually I also started enjoying the juxtaposition of leather and wood. In these products, I'm expressing my love for good design, architectural concepts, and natural materials in products that I would want to use myself…and I do use myself. I field-test all my products until I'm comfortable with them before listing them on our shop.
My goal is to make high-quality, beautiful, durable, and most of all functional solutions to everyday problems. Thank you for buying small and handmade. I put my heart in everything I make.
