Strap-Downs
This is your key tool for MacGyvering stuff onto your bike. Two buckling leather straps with many eyelets running the length are versatile enough that you can strap down something of just about any size to your bike (shown here with a growler). Two belts can be daisy-chained together for extra-large objects. Or wrap one around your pant-leg to keep it off the greased chain. Keep one on your bike and let your imagination come up with new uses. One order comes as a pair of two straps. COLORS: Honey, dark brown, or black bridle leather MATERIALS: Bridle leather, nickel-plated steel hardware DIMENSIONS: 24" in length and 3/4" wide. MONOGRAMMING: Sorry, this item is not able to be monogrammed. EACH ITEM IS MADE TO ORDER with love in my workshop in Portland, Oregon. INTERNATIONAL orders, please note: our shipping and handling does not include your country's import taxes or VATs.

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.
