Our Quality Promise
Going the extra mile for truly sustainable choices
With each of our travel staples we take travel towards a greener future. We’re disruptors at heart: we not only apply the highest standards of German engineering and rigorous testing methods but work with the most creative developers and manufacturers around the world. Driven by our claim Let’s Go. Further. we keep pushing boundaries every step of the way.
Our Materials
Masterminding change
Fabric innovation is a true passion of ours. We go beyond carefully considering the quality of our materials, and only rely on those bringing us closer to a world driven by circularity. That’s our way of ensuring that your travel companions look sleek, stand the test of time, and are made responsibly at the same time.
Up to 97% recycled aerospace-grade polycarbonate
For both durability and sustainability, the hard shells of our M5, H5, H6 and H7 perfectly blend virgin and recycled polycarbonate, which we solely source in a strict closed-loop system and thereby eliminate waste. With the RE Series, we upped the hard shell’s recycled share to an astonishing 97% – and a new benchmark of sustainable luggage – without compromising its performance.
Recycled lightweight nylon
Our lightweight and incredibly long-lasting recycled nylon of select lines has a soft-touch and is water-resistant. It’s made from post-consumer waste.
Waterproof tarpaulin
Tarpaulin is a heavy-duty flexible composite textile made from synthetic yarns that are thermo-laminated. We’re currently testing stage a new sustainable alternative: 100% recycled, its production will save up to 60% of wastewater and 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. For its durability, and our Gion range’s eminent quality in particular, we will know no compromises.
Recycled cotton canvas
The recycled cotton threads are coated synthetically, then tightly woven into a heavy-duty, water-resistant canvas. The finish offers an extra layer of protection and develops a unique patina over time as a testament to your travels.
Vegan Hi-Core
Often used in high-end sportswear, our signature fabric is waterproof, UV-resistant, incredibly durable, and 100% animal-friendly. It is more flexible and softer to the touch than tarpaulin, but will still withstand even the harshest of conditions. The water and any other additives used in the manufacturing process are continuously recycled in a closed loop.
Recycled water resistant lining
A high-density, water-resistant, and 100% recycled lining that minimises the risk of leaks and spills soaking through. We don’t advise you to wash this fabric in a washing machine as this would remove its waterproof coating.
Circle One
Circle One moves luggage towards 100% renewable materials. Made in Europe, it will feature a fully plant-based hard shell innovation, BioX, with flax as its main ingredient – an incredibly resilient natural fibre, that will make the Circle One lighter than aluminium, longer-lasting than polycarbonate, and greener than any of its competitors. The innovation will be complete with seed and nutshell-infused handles and a magnesium telescope.
