The story of Clarijs
Clarijs is a traditional family business founded in 1948 in Zeeland, the Netherlands, by the Clarijs brothers. Originally a saddle maker, the company quickly evolved into a specialist in working with sailcloth and related products. As demand for leather goods decreased, we shifted our focus to bike bags and protective covers for cargo bikes.
Now run by the next generation Clarijs has grown into an international brand. Our handmade bike bags and covers are sold in more than 12 countries, including Canada and the United States. Despite our growth, our core remains unchanged: craftsmanship, quality, and a passion for timeless, handmade design.
Sustainable & locally made
At Clarijs, sustainability is not a trend, it’s a standard. All materials are sourced within the EU, and every product is handmade in the Netherlands. We consciously collaborate with social workplaces, contributing to both a better environment and a stronger society.
Increasingly, we are using reCYCLEd materials such as truck fabric, stretch tents and cutting waste from our own production of bucket bike tents. This makes our panniers and accessories not only unique, but also a responsible choice. Functional, stylish and circular.
European production
For larger-scale production, we work with four specialized facilities in Romania. These partnerships allow us to produce high-quality bike bags and accessories for several well-known brands. We can compete with Far East manufacturing, not just in price, but especially in quality and reliable delivery.
Our process is flexible and tailored to each client’s needs. We also offer custom packaging, with logos and printed materials if desired. From production to final product, we deliver complete solutions made in Europe.
