Chrome Industries

Chrome Industries builds urban utility gear for cyclists, messengers and commuters. Founded in 1995 in Boulder, Colorado and now headquartered in Portland, Oregon, it began with a Juki sewing machine, military-grade truck tarpaulin and Cordura, and a messenger bag closed by a salvaged seatbelt buckle. That swappable buckle still anchors the line, alongside welded waterproof rolltops, backpacks, slings, cycling-ready footwear and workwear-adjacent apparel. Bags are weather-resistant, largely recycled 1050D nylon and carry a lifetime warranty. Chrome Hub stores in US and Japanese cities offer custom, locally sewn bags.
