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
