    Wow! I was starting to give up on finding something that wasn't so "utilitarian". I want the panniers for commuting to work and would be taking them on and off twice a day.. I also have several stairs to walk up at the end of the day so something that has back-pack straps would also be nice. Though.. I'm almost willing to give that up in the name of fashion! haha

    I love the ones from the Netherlands but will have to research further to see if I can translate or find someone that speaks English. That or the basil bags look promising.
    Thanks again for all the help.. and if you come across any other pretty panniers.. be sure to send the link my way! Thanks!

    Running Mommy, aka Denise, is very helpful and if she doesn't have it, she can probably locate a US distributor who carries Basil.

    My LBS carries the Basil panniers! I just went in tonight and saw them. Only $49.99!

    I somehow managed to walk out without them, but I think I *have* to have one now that I have seen how gorgeous they are in person.

    Magnus Backstedt speaks excellent English.

    I am eying the pink panniers basil makes for my soon to be purchased commuter! They really aren't that expensive either.
