Basil introduces an outstanding model again. Here the surprising elements of the VOC-period are combined with a contemporary model bicycle bag. The result: an ancient Dutch, striking and stylish bicycle bag!

 

Re-experience the past….

The “Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie” (often abbreviated till VOC) was an extreme successful Dutch Company which transported goods oversea. Transporting goods is for many Dutchmen still a daily job, with this difference that nowadays it takes mostly place by bike. Enough reason for Basil  - the producer of bicycle bags -  to translate this into an unique concept: the double bag VOC! This VOC-bag has an archaeological tinge and refers to the period of the VOC, the time the Dutch ruled the seas.

 

Unique invention…

Striking is the luxurious and sturdy execution of this VOC-bag. The outside is made from a strong and characteristic canvas, that has been printed with gold and has abundantly been provided with golden stitching and applications. The inside has been finished off with velvet.

The most striking feature is the cheerful pattern on this bag. As unique the findings from that time, so unique is also this bag! For the present it is an once-only bag, because it concerns a “concept-bag”.

 

Discover the VOC-bag yourself…

Basil shows in a brilliant way being front runner in the field of bicycle bags & baskets by the “finding” of the VOC-bag. The double bag VOC can be seen for the first time at the EUROBIKE 2007 on the stand Basil, hall A1, stand 109 (Eurobike 2007 at Friedrichshafen/Germany from 30 August till 2 September inclusive). Naturally you are welcome at our stand to admire the VOC-bag with your own eyes.

Golden Age brought back in stylish bicycle bag!
