When you order your new bike pannier or convertible backpack pannier you’ll need to select the hook size that best fits your bike’s cargo rack. These hooks—two near the top of the pannier—slot over the horizontal tube(s) of the cargo rack and then a bottom hook on a bungee holds tension for a secure fit.
While it’s a simple system, one of the most common questions we get is: what’s the right hook size for my bike? Click to read more.

The new spot is one block away from one of the major bike streets on the east side, N Vancouver Ave - a street dotted with art, parks, and delicious food. This is the building's second stint as a bag making studio, and we're really excited to get to know our new neighbors.
Dates to know:
We will close the showroom at Poplar on Monday 4/10 and soft open the shop on Flint on Tuesday 4/18.
We will pause receiving on all new return and repair inquiries on 4/3, through our move date on 4/12. If you reach out to us during this window about a return or repair, you will get instructions for shipping your bag to us after 4/12 to ensure the smoothest possible processing.
We're also planning out our move to reduce interruptions to our lead time and shipping abilities, but there will likely be a few delays as we pack up and settle in. If you have any time-critical bag needs during our move window, please let us know in advance.
See you in the new space! Travel well and adventure right out there!

Last year Oregon-based gravel legends Old Man Mountain Racks approached us wanting to engineer a version of our Micro Pannier to be rock, drop, bump, and jump proof. They’ve been putting this design to the test on the road (and off-road) throughout 2022.
They’ve been on so many awesome adventures that we decided to launch our own version in our classic EcoPak colors. Now is your chance to grab a web attach on pannier direct from the North St. line.
Our new Adventure Edition features a hook & loop attachment system for gravel touring. The heavy duty hook and loop is sturdy enough for hopping rock gardens and taking gravel waves in stride.
These simple side haulers weigh in at a breezy 13.5oz and will stash extra clothing, repair kits, lunch and snacks. Made from a single layer of waterproof sailcloth, the streamlined and simple Micro Pannier features an external zipper pocket for minimalist bikepacking and single track adventures.
Comes with voile strap for bottom-of-rack mounting security.
Trying to decide between the new build and the hook and bungee Commuter edition? Check out this breakdown of the features of each system to determine which is right for you:
Where did these bags even come from?? And just in time to be ready to ship Valentine's Day gifts???
Imagine: it's a brisk winter morning in Portland - uncharacteristically dry and sunny for a Pacific Northwestern winter. You unlock the door and walk into the North St. shop, and the QA table is filled with a veritable menagerie of packs crafted from scrap fabric of projects gone by! How did they get here? What are we going to do with them?
Okay, maybe it wasn't so mysterious in reality. In preparation for our winter clearance sale and an unannounced exciting business update, we've digging deep into our archived scrap fabric and making some weird custom pouches, totes, and fanny packs.
Our amazing production team sprung into action to clean out the bits and pieces we've been holding onto. You'll find some of our rad organizer pockets, sturdy beach totes, and festival fanny packs made with funky colors, reflective flash, and wiggly patterns. These are the only and last editions of these packs, so get them while they're in stock!
All clearance bags are ready to ship. Order your Valentine's Day gifts by 2/6 to arrive by 2/14.

One of the comments that we hear from folks who learn about North St. online and come into our store is "I thought you were a much bigger company!"
We do have a lot of great photography, a big following of awesome fans, and our sewing team produces an incredible amount of bags. And, truth be told, we're proud of every bag, pouch, and organizer that we send out into the world.
And we also have to be conscious about where we put our time and energy! Every bag in our line takes training, patterning, and resources to keep available, and sometimes we find ourselves ready to retire and redirect that bandwidth.
Now is one of those times - we're saying goodbye to a short list of bags and accessories so we can keep iterating and innovating. Here are a few designs that we're sending to retirement to help make room in our production line for cool new pieces:
