Welcome to the wonderful world of Framework Designs, born and raised in Melbourne/Naarm on Wurundjeri Land.
Since 2018 we've been designing and making bike bags, that don't look like bike bags.
Meet the team. . .
Tia Evans
Founder
Tia stumbled upon the world of bike bag making before a transformative trip to Japan in early 2018.
Inspired by the need for practical and stylish gear, she embarked on the journey of crafting her own canvas bike bags for the trip (on a tiny little domestic sewing machine!).
Equipped with a background in visual arts and textile design, she blends functionality and aesthetics seamlessly in her creations.
Her dedication to the craft has earned her recognition among fellow cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts seeking high-quality and distinctively different gear.
Iris (the boy)
Iris helps break down cardboard boxes for recycling and takes a lot of naps.
That's all folks!
I might say 'us' or 'we' when writing copy, but this is a one woman show.
If it seems like a bigger operation, thank you, I am very flattered.
Considered Design
We take a slow and deliberate approach to design, never compromising on functionality or aesthetics
Quality Materials
Our core materials include Australian-Made Waterproof Canvas, Recycled Polyester and RPET to make our bags both beautiful and durable in the elements.
Ethically Made
We offer products that are hand crafted in our little Melbourne workshop and are soon to be launching a range of items ethically made offshore- details to come!
" Every now and again, I meet someone from our little corner of the bike industry who reignites my love for this community, and Tia is one of those people.
Framework Designs creates functional yet stylish bags with a distinct look, but it’s more than just earth-toned canvas and carefully considered aesthetics that set her apart from other bag makers. I appreciate that she isn’t designing bags to fit into a certain box and is instead leaning into what she knows and what she’s passionate about. "
