The 'boot-bag' - Fiat Barchetta Luggage Rack
We make a unique Fiat Barchetta luggage rack alternative the boot-bag. Boot-bag is a waterproof luggage bag that straps to the boot lid of your Barchetta without a rack. We also import modern luggage racks from Italy in black or stainless steel.
Boot-bag ?
Cars have evolved in many ways over the past 50 years yet, the boot rack has remained unchanged. All it allows you to do is fix a bag to the your car by first fixing the rack to the car, in 2008 we thought 'why not just fix the bag to the boot ?' and boot-bag was born. We have sold over 25,000 since then.
There are two sizes in the boot-bag range :
Original - £124.95 / 144.95€ / 161.95$ ( shown here ) - 50 Litres of additional luggage capacity measures 70x36x20cm ( 28"x15"x8") giving 50 litres (1.75 cubic feet) of additional storage. The soft non slip mat the bag sits on is slightly bigger measuring 80x40cm.

What's most impressive about this rack is the quality of the finish and the simple but very effective design the rack uses to attach to the boot lid. The rack has four feet that can swivel and simply clamp onto the edge of your Fiat's boot-lid. The fixing points the feet attach too simply slide along the rails and like the fit are held in place with a bolt. The luggage racks feet are powder coated to reduce the risk of any damage to your Fiat's boot lid. They can carry 25kg

We think these racks suit the Barchetta perfectly

The boot-bag sits on soft non slip matting to protect paintwork its 4mm thick and slightly bigger than the bag no metal hooks or clips to damage paint with this Fiat Barchetta Luggage Rack system.
The soft fabric base of a boot-bag has no studs, to cause damage to paintwork. With the addition of the soft mat their is zero risk of paint damage, over 8 years of sales demonstrate this.
boot-bag is supplied with 3 straps lay these out across your open boot.
Then place the boot-bag and matting onto the boot lid, the matting is slightly bigger than the bag. The bag has a zip on 3 sides thats covered by a flap held in place by velco make sure the logo is showing on the right. The side of the bag without the zip faces into the wind.
Then take the ends of the webbing and attach to the 6 ladder lock buckles on top of the bag. These are the same as you would find on a quality rucksack and once the webbing is tight it won't come loose. Detach the shoulder strap.
boot-bag is fully waterproof the two patches on top of the bag are sown then welded so no water can leak through the stitching.
Its even possible to open the boot with the bag attached. Boot-bag is fine on cars with a L shaped boot like this Honda just fill the boot before you lay the straps out.
All boot-bags are hand made by us in Buckinghamshire England with care and quality materials - they will last a lifetime
