Our Roll Up Panniers are inspired by the Cyclist’s Hold-alls, first featured in the 1890’s catalogue. As the originals, the new panniers can be rolled up or easily released when needed. This pair of commuter bags for traditional transport bicycles is entirely made of water resistant cotton with leather finishing. On the top of the bag attachment to the bicycle rack these panniers feature a crossed elastic to fasten additional objects to carry during urban transit. Last, but not least, the Roll Up Panniers are “self closing”, as they feature magnets on the flaps.
Materials: water resistant fabric with leather finishing
The Brick Lane roll up panniers attach to most racks with a width between 10 and 15 cm.
Water Resistant Cotton Fabric and Vegetable Tanned Leather from Europe
Made in China

These fit perfectly on the rear carrier of my Pashley Sovereign; and they look fabulous. They're perfect for carrying home the shopping, and when rolled up are quite compact. I think they are probably a bit over the top price wise; taking into account the responses from Brooks on here; that said - quality always tells out. I'm very happy!
I have treated myself to a new Pashley Princess Sovereign 22.5" frame and to finish it off for casually riding around have installed a Brick Lane Roll-up panier, a black D saddle bag and a B190 saddle. It looks just magnificent and it is obviously is real quality kit. This will be a case of quality remembered when price forgotten. Compared to the price my daughters spend on handbags these bags are extremly well made and good value for money.
COMMENT > I love those paniers... they fit perfectly to my Amsterdam sport Electrabike! Keep on making those traditional items on and on. But I ask for something: Why you dont produce a retro style cyclist helmet? Those new starwars, preasure cooker style helemets doesnt fit to a cyclist with clasic bike and brooks panier bags or holdalls! I am awaiting for your feedback and keep up the good work!
REPLY > It's rather early to talk about it, but the helment is on our "wish list", too :)
I use these panniers on a 1974 Raleigh Sprite which I have owned since new and on an Electra Amsterdam Royal 8i. They are without doubt one of the best built, most useful, and elegant (both in the engineering and in the wider sense) pieces of equipment I have ever owned. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Cycling gives me the chance to get away on my own. Cycling brings me independence. It allows me the freedom I need after a busy day. Having the opportunity to leave the house with no real objective is a fabulous thing and meeting up with friends couldn't be easier. I'm quite a sociable person, so the more chance I have to see my friends on a regular basis, helps me deal with the pressures of living in the city. The Brooks cycle bags let me carry as little or as much as I need. As my career varies from day to day, unpredictability is one of the major issues I have to contend with and with the Brooks products, they help as they are versatile and tough. The panniers offer huge assistance as they fold neatly away, but also when full, don't appear to be over bearing or unstable. The basket is a great way to go through daily life and also when shopping, helps protect the environment, which I am also passionate about. The Camden shopping bag is stylish, flexible and practical, everything I need to help with a busy day. And when I am rushing around the city, comfort is key. The Brooks saddle fits perfectly and will only get better with age.
My Brick Lane is permanent fixed to my rack and always standby. I ride my bike daily. Brick Lane is perfect for me to arrange the weights on my bike because in the front my little daughter sits in her child seat. Both panniers of Brick Lane offer enough room for all the toys I need to take with me when we drive to the playground. I always have a small bag in the Brick Lane to be free to buy some food on the way. Because it is in heavy use my Brick Lane looks not new anymore. But I even like the used look better and the bag got softer which I like, too. I really love my Brick Lane and it won´t get off my rack soon.
Of course these bags are expensive. Quality always is. You can always find someone who makes things cheaper. But sheer quality and beauty - gently improving as the item gets older - is still appreciated by the buyer long, long after the cost has been forgotten.
Q > Aperfect fit on my steel Patria....fills its purpose. A good example of function and form working together. Now when will the laptop bag be available????
A > The laptop bag will come out in 2010, probably.
These panniers match perfectly the quality, versatility, and aesthetics of my Rivendell Mixte. Barbara Pfeil
I've bought these to put on my pashley sovereign, and they really fit ! they have a very classic design which perfectly complete the "pashley spirit". And the roll-up system is really great
I take my Brick Lane out of the wardrobe when we go to the river for a barbecue. We always do that by bike. The caved grill perfectly fits into one side of Brick Lane. The other side has space for coal, beer and a blanket. I only need my special picnic backpack and we can start. When I do a bike tour with friends I also take Brick Lane with me. It is a pleasure to pass with my old Dutch bike other cyclist which usually have not so nice and elegant panniers. Thanks to my brooks saddle I did a very long bike tour recently and it was still comfortable. It took three weeks to smooth the saddle and adapt it to my shape but now it´s a pleasure to ride my bike.
I am the cofounder, along with Kirsty McDougall, of Dashing Tweeds a weave based design, clothing and fabric label. Dashing Tweeds came about because I was unable to find the type of fabrics and clothes I wished to wear while cycling around London on my way to meetings and photo shoots. We have designed urban tweeds to fit with the colours of London and created a reflective tweed we call Lumatwill. A major part of the business is selling suit lengths of cloth to tailors around London from Savile Row to The City. By far the best way to get around is by bike. I love my kronan, every morning I carry two kids 4 and 6 years old to school. Hector the 4 year old sits on the back and Amelia 6 on a cross bar seat. Their home work fits perfectly in the Barbican Bag and the straps stop it swinging around while cycling the heavy load. On a typical day I change from my more colourful school run tweed cycle outfit to one which looks more elegant in the West End. I detach the rear kids seat and the paniers fit quickly and securely to the back of the bike. I can fit enough tweed for over 4 suits in them and then with the shoulder bag containing a camera and sample bunch I head off to town.
Q > These panniers are gorgeous but I'm wondering if they're the correct width for my bikes rack. Could you tell me the width of the portion that fits directly over the rack? Thanks, I'll look forward to hearing from you.
A > We have uploaded the information in the description. Anyway the part to fit them on the rack is 35 cm long and the straps to attach them fit a rack width of 10-15 cm.
Q > Hello, is your BARBICAN Messenger Bag produced in England or somewhere else? Regards, Ingo
A > No, it is not. Brooks have not been producing bags for many decades, therefore we have not the skills and machinery to produce them in Smethwick, England. Brooks are doing their best to keep production in the UK and in Europe, but nowadays some products are hardly manufactured in the old continent with the quality standards required to be Brooks products and at the price most cyclists are willing to accept for their equipment. We still make all our saddles in England and many other products in Europe. Regarding our bags some, including the Barbican and Brick Lane, are made in China. We wish to inform you that we are still lookin for possible partners in the UK or Europe, as this seem to be a popular concern.
Q > Would these fit on a Velorobis Scrap Deluxe Ladies? Thank you.
A > The Brick Lane panniers fit most bicycle racks.
The Italians are crazy for Brooks cycle accessories. I was just in Forte dei Marmi and very other bike had a Brooks saddle. Going to get some of these for my Pashley, based on Ludovic's comments.
QUESTIONS > I was looking at your Brick Lane Panniers and I have three questions... 1.) when they are detached if there is a shoulder strap or handle by which they could be carried (for example going into grocery store it would be nice to use the panniers in lieu of a shopping basket). 2.) if when removed from the bike, if there was an affordance for the two panniers to be "snapped" together? 3.) will they fit a Fuji Cambridge rack? Thanks in advance for your help, and best regards Matthew
ANSWERS > The panniers are designed to stay on the bike at all times, so they do not have a shoulder strap. They fit about every rack.
Q > Will you be making the your selection of large bags and panniers in additional colours? I have a honey saddle, and would like something to match that has an actual capacity to transport things. Thank you!
A > For the moment we have no plan in making more colours. Maybe one more, but not with honey leather.
Q > I like these but as they have to stay on the bike how easy are they to remove from a thief's point of view? We always to use saddlebags in the past but recently I just use a pannier for shopping & remove it, putting the shopping directly in pannier. I don't know whether I'd be happy leaving such lovely items on a bike say in the town centre or at my local shopping centre.
A > I'm not a thief, but I guess I wouldn't spend 5 to 10 minutes to remove the panniers. Once installed on the bike, you need to know the product to estimate how long it takes to remove it, so I guess a thief would rather steal your saddle:)
COMMENT > I bought a B67 saddle a few months back - fantastic saddle and really good value. So, now I'm in the market for a bag, and being so impressed with my Brooks saddle, here I am. Come on Brooks - you're making a mistake here. In spite of (or perhaps because of) your "survey of 200 people", your marketing team has let you down. The bag may be made to a high standard, but pricing it solely as part of your brand placement strategy is a bit daft. Many people pay over the odds for items because of the label, or what ownership of the item implies, but I bet the vast majority of Brooks saddle owners are intelligent, reasoning people - that is after all why they choose to ignore passing trends by using the tried and tested Brooks saddle. You may attract a few fashion conscious yuppies in the City, but you're creating a big opportunity for someone to cater to the real requirements of the bulk of your customer base. Now, there's an idea....
REPLY > What you started saying is interesting, although we don't agree with some of your statements. Anyway what's the idea? That we should sell the bag at a lower price? Or that we should remove the logo? The survey with 200 people has been done, and over 140 have voted for the "logo version" of the bag. That counts to 70% of the focus group. Of course the other 30% of the group would have preferred the version without the logo. You can't make everybody happy, this is the limit of democracy.
These look great, but £157.15? Come on...
