All products are handcrafted in GRÜNBAG’s atelier in Denmark. For larger orders, such as in the case of B2B projects, they receive support from seamstresses in Poland. GRÜNBAG frequently travels to Poland to ensure fair working conditions for their seamstresses.
GRÜNBAG uses 90% upcycled materials that are saved from going to waste. These include tarpaulins, advertising banners, seat belts, lifeboats, repurposed cotton, sails and surf kites from private owners, reflectors from lifeboats, recycled zippers, buckles, and seat belts, repurposed belt straps made from recycled nylon and polyester, moving blankets, thermal suits from rescue services, upcycled leather, and pineapple leather. The company, which embodies the Less Waste philosophy, is based in Denmark, near Aarhus. The products are shipped in reused boxes.
GRÜNBAG uses 90% recycled materials in its products. The circular bags are primarily made from monomaterials combined with components like buckles or straps, making the bags recyclable. The company follows a Zero Waste philosophy, reducing the consumption of new resources through upcycling and recycling, thus contributing significantly to a more sustainable circular economy.
The company is based in Denmark, near Aarhus, where the products are locally handcrafted. In a few cases, the company relies on a Polish factory to receive support from seamstresses.
The label uses (mostly recycled) leather in a few products, as the fibre’s durability is convincing. For every animal-based product, a vegan alternative is also offered.
GRÜNBAG produces urban and functional bags, available in various colours. The bag models are excellent everyday companions and are timeless in their simple design.
The small company is very transparent on the product pages of its website regarding the breakdown and origin of the recycled and upcycled materials. Buyers can find detailed information about where the materials come from and how they are processed. This information supports conscious purchasing decisions and fosters a deeper understanding of the importance of sustainability and resource conservation in the fashion industry.
