Tanya Sheremeta designed these simple and efficient [upcycled pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freitag-x-tudes-studio) to offer a touch of class merged with convenience for the eco-conscious bike traveler. On top of the way they merge functionality and style, however, is the fact that they can also be detached at your destination and carried around like a [small purse or personal carrier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-leather-purses) at whim.
