VAUDE (Germany) also sells a decent looking bike bag.

I looked it up because I saw a $35 piece of garbage here in Hanoi with the Vaude label, thought it odd so went to their catalogue. It is fake.

My search continues unsuccessful. First world quality design and construction at high prices sold in 1st and 2nd world, and knock- off third-rate stuff in the 3rd. My fantasy of buying made in Vietnam (a lot is) bike accessories, bagging them and hawking them direct to bikers in Canada is fizzling. Funny, it works in clothing. Friends buy factory leftover garments in Cambodia cheap, sell them in Montreal cheaper than local retail. Doesn 't seem to work for bike stuff. I am sure there us some business reason.

There are some decent quality knock-off backpacks but no decent quality knock-off bike stuff.
