Christina Hamilton Bike Saddlery Collection
A friend thought I might like the topic at Trendland.net, and he was right. I think it is worth sharing with you folks.
A lady named Christina Hamilton has designed panniers and bags (and my favorite is that little chair) based on inspiration from her experience as a saddler.
Check it out HERE.

High Style Points! But...
Treefrog,
I'm assuming that you want honest consumer feedback...
The bag looks very stylish, like a high end handbag. Very nicely made - these have high style appeal.
The obvious downside to a cyclist is that the beautiful appearance of the bags will very quickly be marred by road grime, grease, rain, salt/chemicals and sunlight. It seems a shame to put these bags on bicycles - maybe a line of women's accessories instead?
Did I mention that they were very attractive?

I've just scrolled down further at the link you provided. Okay, the seller gets it, and is targeting high-end fashionable urban commuters. I've never met any of those people, I guess. Good luck to your friend. It's an attractive product aestheticaly, at least. PG

And another who will say that the panniers and rear seat are both elegant looking items. There is a reason that black cordura is the material of choice for motorcycle & bicycle bags. Looks to be best for resort use or those fantasy roads you see on commercials.
