I have one of these and it's lasted four years so far; durable and cool; great for a laptop, books, or as an overnight bag. A smaller size would be a great purse (for man or woman) as well.

Amazing bags made from recycled truck tarps.

What these swiss guys have created with their idea is incredible. Freitag now has a new flagship store in Zürich, made out of containers that are put on top of each other, overall 15. Crazy idea and very creative - just like the entire concept of the company!

FOR THE HIPSTER: I agree with Nexter Elmanco. Freitag was the original of the reclaimed textile bag, especially in the messenger style. I saw it in Europe about four years ago, and it took forever for Freitag to get to the U.S.! Glad it's here now. (via elmanco)

I love the fact that they make these bags from recycled materials. The best part is that you can see exactly how your bag is going to look by their cool website.

(That's not a great description. Just go there, try it, and you'll see what I mean. You get to cut stuff out, much like in 3rd grade art class.)

Freitag are truly become inconic bags for street/fashion culture during beginning of this century. Made of recycled tyres, secure belts, and pv,c these bags are sons of the streets, and of the cute idea of 2 swiss brothers, graphic designers. Now there are many companies which are copying the geniuos idea of the Freitag bros.
