Barnaby Killam and Stuart Sproule founded the company in 2004. Their first bags were created out of old sailcloth material that were otherwise destined for the dump. Thus were born their first totes and travel bags.
Since then, they've expanded their line to include lock holsters, musettes, and duffle bags made of canvas from reclaimed army tents.
Even though not all of their pieces are geared towards cycling, the product line still falls in the cyclist's lifestyle and would be a welcome addition to anyone's closet.
I've been told that the musette holds all the essentials - wallet, keys, snacks, even a bottle of wine will go in! Sounds perfect for that after-work ride down to the beach to watch the sunset with friends.
Their commitment to the use of repurposed materials is an important aspect of the company as well as a very choice move in a time where sustainability and "going-green" are a hot-button issue. Hinting that soft goods is only the beginning, we're excited to see where Red Flag is going and we're glad to be a part of their journey.
