Brand Rating
FREITAG
Bags made from recycled truck tarpaulins, seat belts, and bicycle inner tubes. Every product is unique (no two are identical). Swiss design, built to last a lifetime. Fully transparent about their material sourcing and manufacturing (in-house in Zurich). The elephant in the room: prices start at CHF 190 for a small bag, making them inaccessible to most shoppers. Still, an icon of circular design.
