About Us

Sustainable Entrepreneurship

Social inequality and the mindless destruction of our planet should be a thing of the past. In order to make everyone finally realize that and change their thinking, it is on us to lead by example.
Our durable, timeless designs for urban nomads are the result of environmentally friendly and social decisions as well as passion and creativity. With this mindset we create high quality bags and backpacks every year, while trying to convince our customers that less (but better) is more. Smart investments and transparency help us on this mission so that we can change something in this industry and prove that we are ready – for change and a better future.

Better together

We want to create the best product possible without causing any unnecessary damage. For this plan to work and for us to be able to inspire and implement environmental solutions, we work with carefully selected associations and partners. With their help we make our business more social, accountable and transparent. We are also thankful to you, since you support a variety of good causes with the purchase of our products.

PETA

Animals are not expendable and must not suffer for our products. With more than 6.5 million members worldwide PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) gives animals a voice. With PETA we have the right partner at our side to both guarantee our high standards and to spread awareness about animal rights.

Ecologi

Trees are a masterpiece of nature. They absorb carbon from the atmosphere, create oxygen, food, shelter and beauty. That’s why we plant trees for the orders received in our store on our mission to reduce the world's carbon emissions. Trees make an immediate impact, but also an ongoing one — supporting generations now and those to come. With our gold standard partner Ecologi, we additionally support climate projects which benefit the planet, biodiversity and local communities.

See our forest grow here - order by order. With the help of our customers over 25.000 trees got planted in 2022 mainly through the 'Eden Reforestation Project'. Find out more about Ecologi on their FAQ.

Plastic Fischer

At least 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into our oceans every year. That's one truckload every minute. Around 80% of the ocean plastic was river plastic before, coming from around 1.000 rivers. That's why we partnered with Plastic Fischer, a social enterprise that develops cost-efficient technologies to collect plastic waste from rivers before it can enter the oceans.

With each purchased product in our online shop our customers help Plastic Fischer to remove 1kg of river plastic from rivers in Indonesia. Find out more about Plastic Fischer here.
