There are a couple of ideas, but I haven't had the time to come to decisions though. Basically there are three designs and I'm not sure what to go for. Let's pretend all of you are consumer research panel.
Option one is a very simple market tote, this first version was pretty good but I'll make it a bit taller and add a buckle for the option of pulling the top together / making a roll-top.
Option two is the basket tote I've been using for the last 2 years or so, it's very similar to the first one but it has a zippered top.
Option three is taking my messenger bag inspired tote and giving that basket proportions, it's a bit nicer with its lining and internal and external pockets, chest strap etc, but maybe overbuilt for a basket bag. Outer Shell has just released something similar, so maybe there's a market for it.
In all cases I don't believe in overly rack specific bags. Every version would come with a strap that lives on the rack permanently, which in my opinion is enough for keeping the bag in place and also comes in handy when transporting other things in the basket.
