2019 holds so many memories - it's hard to choose our favorites. We grew our team, stitched more bags than ever before, and launched new gear, new patterns, new collaborations, and new fabrics.
Amidst all that, we shipped over 10,000 bags & accessories to 50 states and 30 different countries! We can't thank you enough for your support!
We hosted a ride for Portland's Pedalpalooza, touring some of our favorite maker shops around town.
We made our first ever rainbow sequin bag exploring the definition of "hi-vis" with bicyclecrumbs
We celebrated 10 years of bag making with limited edition throwback colors, giveaways, and a look back at some of our favorite moments in North St. history.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to our feedback survey earlier this summer. We were blown away by your kind words and excellent ideas. Thank you! Read up on the results from the survey and what folks are saying about North St. Bags.
“The North St. The Weekender Backpack checks all the boxes for me and is one of my favorite backpacks for most trips in the five-plus day category,” writes Zeke Kamm. “I LOVE the visual style of the bag and if I had to bring a bunch of stuff around with me to work or school, this would be my top pick for best everyday bag, too.”
Even though it feels like summer just began, students are heading back to school soon.Whether you’re hyped for classes to start or still grasping to every last summer moment, we want you to return to campus in style with these staff picks from our crew in Portland.
