Tote-ally Custom

Another year of school is coming to a close, and the first graders at Mast Way Elementary School (in Lee, NH) wanted to show their appreciation for all their teacher's hard work. Each student signed a pair of Turquoise panels, to be made into a Market Tote. Now that's a custom bag!

Top 'O the Mornin'. We hope you all had a wonderful weekend, filled with family, friends, and green beer. You may have noticed that holidays inspire us here at BaileyWorks...and that we often create a bag in the spirit of these special days. With that said, here is our newest holiday bag, the Shamrock 253.

Bailey Bag Break-down

Ever wonder what people keep in their BaileyWorks bags? I was surfing around Flickr and found some interesting bag dump-outs. Click the following photos to see a break-down of what these riders carry in their Baileyworks bags.

What do you keep in yours?

According To My Opinion

Each year BaileyWorks sponsors Richard Sachs' cyclocross team. Take a look at some of the bags we made this season!

Premium Rush

Have you ever wondered how clothing for movies gets that "aged" look? Columbia Pictures used a few brand new BaileyWorks bags for their new film, Premium Rush, and believe it or not, it was somebody's job to beat them up. The bags were sent back to us looking 5-10 years older...so cool! Our bags once again prove themselves to indeed be, freakishly strong.

I'm actually excited to see this in theaters. I'm sure the bike stunts will be great, but I'll be playing "Where's Waldo?" for Bailey bags.

Moving along

Hello all. Lots of exciting things have happened since the introduction of The Swift to our line up of bags. We've added another back-pack-style bag: The RoadRunner, and we've refreshed our Kit Courier. It's now better than ever!

And perhaps the most exciting news is that we've moved from the old Button Factory in Portsmouth to the old Mill on Main Street in Newmarket, NH.

Newmarket, NH from the sky

The historic mill building sits along the Lamprey River, directly in the heart of town. Once the economic engine of the seacoast community, the building is now undergoing renovations and becoming home to many exciting new businesses, including us.

Tower at the Newmarket Mill

Newmarket is beautiful, and it's especially nice right now with the leaves and air changing for Fall. We couldn't be happier here at BaileyWorks. Our shop is now just as unique as our bags.

Another addition to the new shop is viewing windows! Come by and watch BaileyWorks bags being made in the mill.

Busy Summer :: New Product Sneak Peek

We’ve had a busy summer coming up with fresh, new bags for the holiday season. We have two – the Swift and the Roadrunner - that will be ready for purchase in the next few weeks. Both are two strap bags. Think of them as a cross between a 253 Courier and a Citizen Pack. The first bag you’ll see is the Swift:

The Swift



Swifts are speedy little birds that spend most of their time on the wing (their family name derives from the ancient Greek word meaning "without feet"), and can cover well over 100,000 miles in a year. If your feet rarely hit the ground and you travel fast and light, the Swift is for you.

This super durable two-strap pack has a weather resistant 1,000 denier Cordura outer shell and is lined with polyester coated nylon to keep your things dry all day. The front bellows pocket, complete with pen/pencil/phone holder, secures smaller items while the roomy interior, with an additional zippered pocket carries everything else. The Swift can hold nearly 700 cubic inches of your important things. Overall, the bag measures 15” high, 9” wide and 5” deep (front to back) and weighs in at a very reasonable 20 ounces. The padded back panel and adjustable, padded, shoulder straps create all-day comfort.

The Swift I’m testing currently holds all the supplies I need for a weekend of teaching in Seattle: the MacBook I’m using to write this post, a 1” 3-ring binder that holds a small stack of cases and notes, two paperback books (Return on Sustainability by Kevin Wilhem and The Prism and the Pendulum by Robert Crease), a couple of pens, an iPhone, an iPod (with chargers) my wallet, a water bottle, a Koka Moka ProBar and an IF catalog. At this moment, seated on a plane somewhere over Iowa, I offer a silent word of thanks to Jenn for making this very portable, extremely robust little bag!

(The other bag that I have to see me through this four-day, Pacific Northwest weekend is an extra small Whalemouth Duffle. Packed well, it holds more than you might have guessed. More on that later.)
