I went to SSWC 07 and there was a lady there who was American but living in Germany. She made custom messenger bags out of tarp and I've been promising to buy one for years, but I've finally got a job where I can ride to work every day.
I think the "company" (it wasn't so much a company as her making bags in her spare time) name began with a "T" and I'm sure someone on here had bought one.
It's a long shot I know, but has anyone got any idea what the name of the company was? They have a flickr page but beyond that I've no idea!
Was her name Kera?
Btw if it was the brand is SpoK bags.
not an american lady...but very good messenger bags from berlin..
write them a mail.. they do fantastic custom work , different sizes and styles...
and they do a cheaper production line called baicyclone by bagjack..

got one of these when they used to be available in UK.
quality is amazing.
Tollah, you are the man! Kara was indeed her name, thanks SO much!
Everyone else- thanks for your help, if Kara's not doing them any more I'll look into it.
No probs, they're off to Ireland next week to SSWC, failing that I've got her contact details I can forward your details if needed.
DOH, Sorry, didn't see that Marty has linked their blog.
