Handmade bag in a compact format from the well-known Swiss manufacturer FREITAG. For the small shopping trip, the extra pair of shoes or the small picnic. The individual parts of F250 SONNY are cut from used truck tarpaulins and sewn by hand - so each bag is unique and unbeatably robust: truck tarpaulins are washable, tear-proof and waterproof. And should something happen to it, despite its robustness, the bag can be repaired by the manufacturer. A note on truck tarpaulins: they are made of polyvinyl chloride and therefore contain plasticizers. The bags should therefore be stored out of the reach of small children who can still put things in their mouths. As long as the bags are not put in the mouth, they are completely harmless.

FREITAG has always approached design from the end result. In their search for suitable materials for a bag that was both functional and durable, brothers Daniel and Markus Freitag discovered used truck tarps over 30 years ago. The rest is design history; to this day, the Zurich-based company upcycles several hundred tons of tarpaulin annually into bags, backpacks, and accessories, thereby saving them from the landfill. To ensure the products have a long life, Freitag also offers repair and exchange services. But because every bag eventually wears out and the PVC and polyester tarps cannot be recycled, there is now a second product line called MONO[PA6]. Instead of used materials, FREITAG uses polyamide 6 (PA 6)—better known as nylon—in the form of a monomaterial, as the technical term goes. The backpacks and bags are made entirely of PA 6—from the fabric to the thread, zippers, and even the label. What does this have to do with the end? Thanks to their monomaterial construction, MONO[PA6] products can be efficiently recycled in one piece. To ensure this actually happens, FREITAG also offers its own take-back service—thus guaranteeing a Full Circle Moment right from the moment of purchase.
