The backpack system made from recycled sailcloth appears in a limited edition. Demand exceeds expectations – all 200 units are sold out within three weeks.

Expansion of the product range with a zero-waste set made from organic cotton and beeswax. The wraps replace single-use plastic wrap and are used by outdoor travelers and families alike.

The website goes online – as a central hub for sustainable travel luggage, functional design, and modern travel accessories. Iris Holzinger takes over editorial management.
Our Identity
Our community consists of people who love to travel while taking responsibility for the planet. From the minimalist backpacker to the design-savvy business traveler – we design for everyone who values quality and sustainability.
Target audience: conscious travelersEvery accessory goes through a rigorous selection process: material origin, production conditions, and CO₂ footprint are checked. We rely on natural raw materials like hemp, recycled sailcloth, and beeswax – without plastic and without greenwashing.
Principle: Transparency & QualityWe communicate honestly, factually, and with a touch of passion. No empty promises, but concrete information about materials, care, and lifespan. Our goal is to build trust and create a community that works together towards a more sustainable travel world.
Tone: clear, authentic, informativeWe believe that travel and responsibility go hand in hand. Our project emerged from the question of how functional design can be combined with genuine environmental protection – without compromising on aesthetics.
Every accessory we develop follows three principles: it is made from renewable or recycled materials, it is durably repairable, and it actively reduces plastic waste while traveling. Our toiletry bag made from hemp and cornstarch, for example, is compostable after use – a small step that makes a big difference in everyday life.
For our customers, this means: they travel lighter, leave fewer traces, and gain a good feeling. No greenwashing, but thoughtfully designed products that prove their worth in the hotel room, on the train, or at the campsite.
Clarity on materials, care, and ordering – without legal jargon.
Our suitcases and bags are mainly made from recycled canvas, hemp, and corn starch. All fabrics are plastic-free and can be composted or recycled at the end of their useful life.
Most items can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Canvas modules are water-repellent but not waterproof – in heavy rain, we recommend a beeswax-based impregnation.
Within Austria, we deliver in 3–5 working days, to Germany and Switzerland in 5–8 working days. Shipping is climate-neutral with DHL GoGreen.
Yes, we take back all products free of charge and send them for recycling or composting. You will receive a voucher for your next purchase.
Our backpack modules and toiletry bags are carry-on compliant. For larger suitcases, we recommend our model made from recycled canvas, which meets standard carry-on dimensions.
