Ruthworks is a one-person custom cycling luggage company located in the Mission District of San Francisco, California.
I create modern classics using a combination of traditional waxed canvas, leather, and ultralight fabrics for the ideal balance of function, performance, and durability.
Since 2009, all of the sewing, fabrication, leather work, hole punching, cutting, designing, advertising, website, sourcing, prototyping, product photography, social media, delivery, and order packing and shipping is done by me.

My interest in making bags began on a bicycle tour in 2008 with my wife. We were touring New England on borrowed bicycles and mine didn't have racks!
So in figuring out how to carry my gear, I designed my first bags.
Using a $35 thrift-store sewing machine, I learned how to sew and made my first bags!
The bags performed great and held up fine in the rain and I was hooked.
I enjoy making things for people and look forward to making something for you someday!
