Vaude Backpacks and Bike Bags

Vaude is a German family company that makes gear for the outdoors, for cycling and for the city. It was founded in 1974 by Albrecht von Dewitz in the Lake Constance region, and the brand name comes from his initials V and D. Since 2009, the company has been run by his daughter Antje von Dewitz. Vaude is still based in Tettnang, where its own workshop has been making backpacks, bike bags and other bags since 1980.
