🚘 The Track Bag - heavy duty & durable, track day-ready, and designed with a nod to sustainability using upcycled expired racing harnesses.
Made with dry-waxed cotton canvas, this dual-layer duffel bag offers protection from the elements while keeping your belongings safe and dry. The heavy-duty dry-waxed cotton canvas starts out stiff and ages beautifully, getting more pliable and softer as you use it.
The Track Bag’s standout feature: handles made from upcycled, expired racing harnesses (2" only). Only in black.
🏁 The brand was born from a love of motorsport, the people, and the stories stitched into every harness - designed for those who love days at the track, road trips, or who just want a well crafted bag that will last a lifetime.
Hi 👋, I'm Naomi. I've been a car girl all my life, and only really got into motorsports in 2016. Avants made a great little video about me a few years ago. Since then, I enjoy instructing at Driver Skills days (aka Car Control Clinics), do some stunt driving, and still love driving at the track. I've gone through a few more cars since the video and recently owned a race-ready 1987 Porsche 944.
About Throttle & Tote - History:
I heard too often how people get attached to their old racing harnesses and put them in a box just to sit in a corner of their garage - then get thrown out a few years later. I want to #savethebelts from the landfill and give them new life. And with my passion for all types of bags, I created Throttle & Tote.
Support from Friends & Motorsports Community:
As soon as I mentioned I wanted to do something with these expired racing harnesses, a few friends of mine provided me with their old boxes of harnesses - and I made a prototype. Sample bags were made, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to go to full production and am closing the doors.
🔖 I have the patterns and materials for a few more sample bags. If you know a zero MOQ manufacturer - or if you sew or know someone who can sew heavy duty bags with skill and quality, please reach out. I would love to meet with them.
✂️ I have also been collecting expired racing harnesses from local racers and enthusiasts. If you want to collaborate with me and upcycle the belts for your own projects, I'd love to work with you! I have 2" and 3" width belts including hardware. #savethebelts.
