A buddy told me about Vivicraft.

I was reading " Entirely, the Italian leather which is the high-class impression " ???
Meaning leather out of cows holding an Italian Passport?

If only they were for sale in Europe . . .
They really look very nice and make a big plus for the Brompton.
I got it. They use leather tanned in Italy. Desing, crafting and all the rest is made in Korea.

Kudos to Brompton for their S-Bags. It inspired a group of artisans around the world coming out with this beautyful luggagerie.

Beautiful stuff from vivicraft! How did you buy the stuff gganio? Do they delivery worldwide?
Also, the brompton bag is very lovely! But I wonder how tough the bag is and how it compares to brompton's own b-bag.
I have not bought these bags (yet). I guess, by translating their web sites online and by sending then an email, should work to buy these bags. I am also sure that the bags are reliable, since they come from an area that heavely uses folding bikes....

Which one did you mean then when you said "I got it"? Something from the korean website? Anyway, I've just checked hot much the roll-out bag costs o_O £135!
" I got it " as " I have understood it". I was intrigued by the italian leather statement. Both Korea and Japan value high end folding bikes as luxory products. Maybe this mania for luxory folding bikes will spread around the world....
