FLINC x Appenzeller Gurt – the urban packhorse
It all started with a simple question: Can a classic Appenzeller Gurt take on a new role on FLINC's Compact Cargo Bicycle? Today, the answer can be found on the iconic front rack: re-engineered, enhanced with additional loops, and adapted for urban everyday life, a traditional accessory becomes a functional tool for on the go.
The Appenzeller Gurt originates from Sennensattlerei and is still handmade from durable leather today. The new lashing strap combines tradition with urban mobility. Carrying capacity, reliability, and function remain, while its use changes.
For the collaboration, two FLINC bikes were built as a limited edition. With a green box, Brooks leather elements, tan-wall tires, and the new lashing strap, a deliberately minimalist yet detailed overall look is created.
With a clever trick, the lashing strap can also be worn as a classic belt.
Sewing Workshop on Tour
In a sewing workshop in Zurich, bags are created that are as individual as their owners. Here, Mari Schoch passionately crafts custom-made bike bags, driven by her love for cycling and functional design.
Mari has built a mini version of her workshop that fits on a bicycle trailer. She flexibly cycles with it to wherever her craft and sewing machine are needed.
Interested parties can discuss ideas for individual bike packs on site, take measurements on their bike, and choose colors and materials. The bags are then sewn by her back in the studio. The workshop on wheels also offers space for a selection of colorful pouches for the next bikepacking adventure. They can be personalized directly on site.
