QWSTION - functional luggage for all situations

QWSTION is a Swiss brand. The Zurich-based development office works consistently and with great ambition to challenge established norms. Materials are rethought, functions and details are invented. The bags with their special look provide answers to the questions of sustainability in production; they are sought-after, convincing and proven everyday companions. Behind QWSTION is a team of dedicated specialists led by Swiss industrial designer Christian Kaegi. It all started with a piece of luggage that was to be more functional than a classic leather bag and more elegant than a sports backpack, robust and hard-wearing on the one hand and made from natural materials on the other. Characterized by the signature of Swiss design, the QWSTION team from Zurich develops timeless designs with practical details - and with impressive precision. For example, every bag is also a rucksack - and vice versa. The wide fabric straps are characteristic. They form the structure of the bags - elaborately and robustly sewn - in almost all parts of the range. Thanks to the hard-wearing outer material made of coated, water-repellent cotton fabric and many practical features, they are perfect everyday companions that develop a beautiful patina over time. QWSTION makes no compromises when it comes to the choice of materials. The Swiss company uses organic cotton and recycled materials that are processed to the highest standards. The most important production partner is a small factory in the city of Huizhou outside Hong Kong, which is BSCI (Business and Social Compliance Initiative) certified. The EU initiative aims to implement European standards with regard to working conditions and ecological aspects in non-EU countries. Because QWSTION is a variation on the English word "question", the Swiss mainly ask questions when the solution already seems to be in the bag. The dedicated team conducted intensive material research for over three years and developed its own textile: Bananatex® is the world's first technical fabric made from banana plant fibers, which is now being used for the first time in the in-house bag collection. QWSTION's exceptional quality of workmanship is remarkable. As one of the very first retailers, MAGAZIN can rightly say after years of use that these bags meet the highest standards. With a special enthusiasm for the beautiful patina, the Swiss luggage pieces have become everyday companions that have become an integral part of our range.
