The story of Clarijs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Clarijs is a craft-driven family business from Zeeland, founded in 1948 by the Clarijs brothers and therefore the oldest bike bag maker in the Netherlands. What started as a saddle-making workshop soon developed into a specialist in processing canvas and related materials. When the demand for leatherwork declined, we shifted our focus to bike bags, rain covers and cargo bike covers. This evolution laid the foundation for the handcrafted bike bags we make today: functional, durable and designed for intensive daily use. <\/p>\n

Clarijs has since been passed on to the next generations, and our products have grown into an international success. What began with the Clarijs brothers is now sold in more than 12 countries worldwide, including Canada and the United States. As the oldest bike bag maker in the Netherlands, we continue to carry this rich heritage forward every day. The foundation remains the same: craftsmanship, quality and a passion for the trade. <\/p>\n

Sustainable & locally made<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At Clarijs, sustainability is not a trend, it\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n

Increasingly, we are using reCYCLEd <\/strong><\/a>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.<\/p>\n

European Production<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Our process is flexible and tailored to each client\u2019s needs.Onze werkwijze is flexibel, professioneel en afgestemd op de wensen van de klant. We also offer custom packaging, with logos and printed materials if desired.<\/strong> From production to final product, we deliver complete solutions made in Europe.<\/p>\n
