When we design a Cocotte Équipement messenger bag, we want it to accompany you the whole way. Made in the same small Montreal design shop as when we first started back in 1993, our bags and accessories are made to last, no matter how you use them.
Bag Stories
Every bag owner has a story. Discover a few stories here.

Alice, Little Italy “I’m a bit like the mother of my group, and I always manage to carry as much stuff as possible in my bag. It contains loads of things: A bandage? There you go! Pen? There you go! A tissue? There you go! A granola bar? There you go! They really are quality and durable bags, made in Montreal. They are extremely popular with young people my age and I understand why: they are so durable that they could survive a bike ride that turns into a storm as well as the end of the world.“

Vincent, Hochelaga “My girlfriend gave me a Fred eight years ago! It really is the perfect bag for cycling. In Montreal, you often have to look over your shoulder to see the cars behind you. With this bag, even when it’s very full, I always see what’s behind me, whereas large backpacks end up blocking your blind spot […] I don’t think I’ll ever have to buy another one, this one is good for life! I think only a city snow plow could be able to destroy it!“

Lilli, Le Plateau “My Fred, I’ve had it since 2017 I think. It was at a time when it wasn’t quite fashionable like it is today. It’s a very practical bag, it doesn’t get damaged and it suits my needs perfectly. I like that you can slide the bag to the side to get something out quickly. It’s less burdensome on the back!“
