Black Star Bags is a Portland, Oregon-based maker of handmade bags and cycling accessories, founded in 2006 by bike messenger Dave Stoops. The brand began when Stoops, unable to find the waterproof backpack he needed, used a free sewing machine and secondhand fabric to make his own. Today, it produces waterproof bags designed for everyday riding and wider adventures, with custom options available.

Its range includes messenger bags in multiple sizes, backpacks, panniers, and accessories such as pedal straps, top-tube pads, cell-phone holsters, and wallets. The collection also extends beyond bike-specific gear to hip pouches, tool and travel pouches, food courier bags, duffel bags, and bike polo products. Gift certificates are available for cyclists.

Black Star Bags emphasizes practical, weather-ready designs, describing its products as suitable for use in rain or shine. Its handmade offerings are aimed at bike commuters, students, couriers, and cross-country cyclists, as well as anyone seeking durable bags for travel or daily use.
