My son probably wouldn’t comment about something looking third world but would likely look at me and say, “Dad…..really….”

Not 100% but what I am looking for doesn’t seem to exist and I would need to cobble it together. My ideal solution would be pannier style baskets or bags that are ~8” wide, hard-sided (wire mesh?) and fixed in place, NOT easily removable. All of the panniers I saw are designed to be easily removed. Style points, need those too.
