House of Astbury Qom Waterproof Bag
House of Astbury is a reflective, cycle-friendly street wear brand with a strong feminist ethos.

Made from durable waterproof PU coated polyester, the bag features a roll-down top fastened with an adjustable high visibility strap. The reflective polka dot print is inspired by the King of the Mountains polka dot jersey given to the best climber in Tour de France.
