Unique Crossover Kites City Strap #11

City Crossover made from upcycled surfer kites

We are often contacted by private kite-surfers who would like to donate their discarded kites instead of wasting them. We have got a beautiful collection of colorful bags out of it. The kites have some distinctive stitching that adds beautiful, unique details to each bag, and futhermore they are available in the most incredible colors and patterns that give the bags a unique and sporty look. The City model is a smart and practical crossover bag that fits perfectly as a work or school bag. It has two inner pockets for your valuables and even a small laptop/notebook.

This product is made by creatively upcycling materials that would otherwise be turned into waste. Transforming leftover materials, deadstock and second-hand materials into something that has more value and less environmental impact is the core of our business. When you buy upcycled items, you help to reduce the environmental footprint of the fashion industry, supporting the shift towards a circular economy

Upcycled Materials

Besides upcycled kites this City shoulder bag consists of leftover material from tarpaulin production in Denmark. We collect the material that is cut off for producing truck covers and party tents: never used, but nevertheless would otherwise be put in the landfill. The material is durable and does not lose much color or shape, and it is exactly this strong material that you can find in the majority of our GRÜNBAG bags.

The shoulder strap is belt strap from recycled polyester (rPET). The inside pockets are made from mesh banners, which were used as advertising banners in Denmark.

Is the bag waterproof?

The tarpaulin material is 100% waterproof, but the bag should not be placed directly in water as the seams are not sealed. Nevertheless, the seams are very tight, so that the bag will be a good companion even on rainy days.
