At Swift Industries we’re on a mission to help build a world where bicycles are a widely hailed tool for creating joy, connecting communities and taking concrete climate action. We are pitching in by designing top tier bicycle bags and championing the community. Our team shows up to create this future fueled by ambition, playfulness, integrity and respect.

Swift Industries is a bicycle bag brand from Seattle, WA known for being outspokenly female-owned. Our products are proudly designed and put through the wringer in the Pacific Northwest. We chase adventure by bike and have a deep admiration for high quality gear.

We’re Northwest by Nature.

We started in 2008: two kids with a sewing machine, some chicken scratch sketches, and an insatiable obsession with bicycles. As people around the world have caught wind of Swift, we’ve loved navigating growth, bringing on an amazing team and working long, hard hours to build community around a shared love of cycling.

On a tour down the Pacific Coast in 2006, we drafted what we thought was our traveller’s edict and has turned out to be the tenets of our working philosophy.
