Hey all,

I found a guy who makes handlebar snack bags (amongst many other bike bags) and I love the ones I got from him very much (he is @greg.newland on Instagram) but he's currently not taking custom orders. 

I know there are a lot of commercially made bags online but I'm looking for something interesting and fun, crazy fabrics and so on that I can't seem to find "off the shelf". 

Anyone want to recommend an individual who is taking commissions right now or who maybe isn't one of the big name places that I've already seen? 

By "snack bag" I mean those tube shaped stem bags that can hold a large bottle or a mess of snacks, or whatever, typically with a drawstring. 

Again, looking for individuals here more than companies (Chrome, etc)

Is https://www.randijofab.com on your radar at all? Her stock items are nice, and she may be open to custom bag orders as well. I recently ordered a cap in a custom configuration and it wasn’t a hassle at all.

Yes, thanks, I wasn't going to list all the ones I have looked at, but I have looked at RandiJo. I was sort of looking for just hobby crafter types, maybe. I'm spoiled by my Greg bags for sure. It was fun picking the crazy fabrics and having the freedom to sort of design it. This go round I want to add a pocket to the bag and that's probably not something one of the...I hate to say "larger" because they're mostly not...but a place that's not doing one bag at a time would do.

Yes, I am familiar with Makeshifter, they make nice bags. They're not making custom bags as they are very busy making and delivering the stock bags they currently make and sell. I'm familiar with the bags sold by Simworks, and Golden Pliers and similar bike shops (all the Riv dealers). I'm really looking for a hobby crafter person like Greg, who maybe does this on the side, or is just starting out,  or is trying to get their product out there.

This guy is local to Sacramento and does it on the side:

He does waxed canvas.

Also this guy:

Haven't used them, but apparently you can send old fabrics/gear and he can make the bag out of it for you.

Cheers,
Collin in Sacramento

Awesome! Shoot him an email first, just to make sure he is able to work on them/has stock. He has been a busy guy these last few weeks.

Brian and Monica, located just south of Chico, CA, will customize any of their existing line of bags for you. 
Some of their bags are usually on display at The Bicycle Business in Sacramento.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations! I went with Cycle Cats in Sacramento and couldn’t be happier! He is on IG at @cycle.cats or www.cyclecatsdesign.com. He has stock stuff and make custom bags too. The quality seems top notch! I got a snack bag and burrito bag in waxed canvas green and tan that beautifully complements the green MB-4.
