I've read a number of the past posts about Altura bags. Unfortunately most of the online sites have very little information about the bags. So, several questions:
Does the manufacturer have a website that provides detailed information? If so, what is it, I searched unsuccessfully.
Can anybody compare their "Workstation Briefcase" to the Carradice equivalent. I've had the latter for a couple of years and it's showing considerable wear.
Any recommendation on where to buy it to ship to the US - if there isn't a US distributor (I couldn't find one).

I just bought a new Altura bag yesterday. The new expanding post-pack bag. Nice for a road bike which does not have a rack.
I bought it in the new Cycle Surgery shop in Holborn. They gave me a goody bag, with a bottle of Finish Line and White Lightning, plus a keyring etc. They have a 10% discount postcard in the bag, valid till the end of April.
In the bag was their latest catalogue, with a listing of the Altura bags. What do you need to know re. the briefcase pannier?
What I most want is their website (assuming they have one) where I can find more details about the bag. The information from the cycle shops is a bit sparse.

After getting more information I bought an Altura Orkney bag from Cyclesense in the UK. They shipped it to the US for about $25. It's just about perfect for what I want - serving as a briefcase that has lots of pockets for "things" and good protection for my laptop. The attachment to my bike rack is much better than expected.
I'm a happy customer.
