Gusti Leather panniers - comfortable and safe when you’re on the go on your bike

In the past few years, backpacks have become our ever-loyal companions when we’re out on our everyday adventures, so it’s no wonder that the demand for a variety of panniers in different shapes and colours has steadily increased. It’s also not surprising that leather backpacks are becoming increasingly more popular among cyclists. This rise in popularity has given us one more reason to offer special backpacks for the cycling enthusiasts among us.

Gusti panniers: versatile, durable and multifunctional

Backpacks are perfect for carrying on your bike wheel because they - unlike shoulder bags - can’t slip forward and get caught up in your legs and cause danger while you’re cycling. The perfect pannier has a 15 to 20 litre capacity and holds its own against the popular everyday backpack.

Unlike conventional Gusti Leather backpacks, our Gusti Leather panniers have special features designed specifically for cyclists. Some of our products have additional adapters built-in to the backpack which make it easy to position the bag on your handlebars or on the back of your bike. Others have reflective surfaces integrated into the backpack’s design which ensures that cyclists are visible, even during the darker times of the year.

Our panniers are characterised by their durability, they won’t just win you over with their unique design, but they’ll impress you with their everyday usability and their optical and functional versatility too. From sporty-casual and classic-elegant to romantic-playful and straight-modern, from vintage-looking leather backpacks to ultra-modern designs.

Goatskin leather, cowhide leather or buffalo leather – which will you choose?

We offer our panniers in three different types of leather. You can choose from:

• goatskin leather,
• cowhide leather or
• buffalo leather.
  
  

Panniers made of goatskin leather are a little more rigid at first, but if you use them regularly, they’ll soften considerably very quickly. Our products made of cowhide or buffalo leather are stronger than those made of goatskin leather due to the nature of the material. This leather maintains its rigid structure and softens naturally over time. Decide for yourself which leather best meets the needs of your new pannier.

Our product lines are just as diverse as our product range. The products in our “Gusti Leather nature” brand are all about sustainability. This is because only the Gusti Leather products that are manufactured by small family businesses in India using traditional, handmade vegetable-tanned goatskin leather are part of this range. Individuality and uniqueness ring true here - each product is completely unique!

The products in our “Gusti Leather studio” brand will win you over with their functionality and timeless urban style - very on-trend! The leather products in this range are chemically tanned using chromium salts by certified companies in India, making them particularly stable and durable.

Gusti Leather only works with companies in India and Italy that meet international labour and human rights standards. In order to ensure the consistent high-quality of our leather products, we regularly conduct random spot checks using independent laboratories and carry out unannounced visits to the work areas, during which compliance with contractually defined production and labour standards is checked. If these standards are being violated, we act in accordance with our zero-tolerance policy and immediately terminate contracts with these companies.
