Designing bags from wasted however durable and colorful materials, from discarded kites to industrial scraps. First launched in 2008 by the Danish designer, Helen Leegaard, the brand aims to circulate industrial waste into high-quality statement bags. GRÜNBAG products are spacious and functional and are designed to stand the taste of time and trends

All GRÜNBAG products are shipped either in small boxes made from reused cardboard or in bags made from 100% upcycled material. The tiny pocket for the freight label is made from recycled film

At GRÜNBAG they use at least 90% of upcycled and reused materials in order to prevent the production of new materials. They aim to implement a zero-waste approach when it comes to their small business. That's why they use as many upcycled, recycled, and reused scraps and materials for their bags as possible

GRÜNBAG works with employees who receive at least the minimum wage according to the Danish labor market law, and have the opportunity to negotiate their wages. They are also guaranteed contractual holidays and fair working hours

GRÜNBAG bags are mainly hand-cut and sewn by highly specialized seamstresses. Their products are currently handmade in their own atelier in the GRÜNBAG headquarters. For bigger orders, that extend past local capacity (mostly within the B2B part of their business), they outsource the work to a small group of sewers in Poland

GRÜNBAG is run by a little team of 5 dedicated people

GRÜNBAG bags are produced in Denmark and Poland. Some recycled polyester fabric is produced in China

GRÜNBAG does not launch new collections several times per year. On the contrary, they continue to produce a style as long as they have materials that can be used for it. They choose to adapt their collections to the upcycled and pre-loved materials they can get their hands on. GRÜNBAG's design goal is to design bags that never go out of fashion

GRÜNBAG's core value is to design bags that will last a lifetime

GRÜNBAG is closing the loop because more than 90% of the materials used to produce their bags are either upcycled, recycled, or pre-loved

Backpack made of 100% sustainable materials 
GRÜNBAG Kite bags are made from colorful kites from kitesurfers which makes every item completely unique. They differ in looks depending on sewing, labels, and other off-cuts from the kites. Yet, all bags have the same minimalistic expression. 
GRÜNBAG Backpack Kites is a spacious all-round backpack designed for your everyday use. The backpack has one big inner pocket that fits a laptop and two smaller pockets for your valuables. The bag is an ideal school, sports, or work backpack.
All unique bags are designed, hand-cut, and sewn at the GRÜNBAG atelier in Aarhus, Denmark.
Made of 100% sustainable materials
The bag consists of two layers, the outer one in kites and the inner one in surplus materials from tarpaulin production, which guarantees extra durability. Both the backpack straps and the closure belt strap are made of 100% recycled polyester.

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value. 

Upcycling artists are inspired by the textile waste they see, which is almost an unlimited resource at this point. They create with the intention to use what is already here. This process is important in the circular fashion movement, because it makes use of discarded textiles, giving these materials second lives. 

Because discarded textiles are not typically sheets of fabric, but rather articles of discarded clothing, a lot of creativity is required to transform materials into new fashionable pieces. This challenge is exciting for upcycling artists, as they are driven and inspired to create with what is in front of them and often don’t have much to lose in the process, since discarded materials are readily available and cheap. Because of this, upcycled clothing is often unique as each piece has been thoughtfully crafted into a new garment.

This product is made by creatively upcycling materials that would otherwise go to waste. This makes better use of resources like deadstock fabrics: leftovers from big production that are saved by re-using them.
