E001 KOTKIN & E002 WEISZ

CARRY A LOAD
AND LEAVE NOTHING BEHIND

E001 KOTKIN & E002 WEISZ

FREITAG packs all its old passion and the new material together in two F-ABRIC bags. E001 KOTKIN and E002 WEISZ are the names: they’re virtually unique and, one day, they’ll disappear without trace.

For over 20 years now, FREITAG has been supplying individualistic urbanites with one-off pieces made from old, recycled truck tarps. And since 2014, we've also been working with F-ABRIC textiles, which were developed in-house using European bast fibers and are 100 % biodegradable. Something we only used to be able to wear can now be filled up and carried around.

There are plenty of textile bags around, and most of them are made of cotton. The E001 KOTKIN tote and the E002 WEISZ shopping bag are made of French flax, a simple fiber used in fine, robust weaves that is well served by the wet climate of Normandy and requires no chemicals of the kind that contaminate the soil in which it grows.

This won’t lead to FREITAG bags that all look the same. That's why you can now select a carrying strap made from a piece of recycled truck tarp with a carabiner. Known as the F252 BANDIT, it gives the textile bags a touch more individuality as well as an alternative way of carrying them.

E001 KOTKIN and E002 WEISZ are pretty tough. But when they’ve finally given their all, simply unscrew the F-Button, slip off the F252 BANDIT, throw the textile bags on the compost heap and leave them to turn into humus. That, incidentally, is the reason we gave them the real names of famous illusionists. After all, the fact they disappear is no trick but simply the magic of decomposition.

The new F-ABRIC bags are available in Ink Grey, Nature Matte, Misty Blue and Stone Red.

• Short and long carrying straps
• Customizable F button for closing the bags
