    General Information

    The ROLL PACK is based on the idea of a protective container that can be carried in different ways and whose volume can be adapted to the contents thanks to a "roll-top" construction. The main compartment has inner compartments in various sizes, including a laptop compartment padded with merino felt, suitable for laptops up to 15 inches in size. A special version of the tried-and-tested YKK® metal zipper with a cotton strap instead of plastic allows quick and secure access to the most important contents. The adjustable backpack straps and a modular handle made of vegetable-tanned leather allow a variety of carrying options. But the highlight is the material: after several years of material research and development, the Swiss bag manufacturer QWSTION has designed a textile that is fully woven into the DNA of the Zurich label: Bananatex® is the world's first technical fabric made from fibers of the banana plant Abacá, which is organically cultivated in the Philippine highlands. As a natural alternative to synthetic, petroleum-based textiles, the in-house development is not only ecological and economical, but - for the first time processed in the latest bag collection - very robust and durable, light and flexible with a finely structured feel. A layer of beeswax makes the sustainable canvas fabric water-repellent, hard-wearing and develops a beautiful patina with use.

    QWSTION luggage series

    Bags are either chic or practical, elegant or functional. Only rarely are they both - unless they come from QWSTION. The small company with great motivation to challenge the usual norms focuses on design for functional luggage in all situations - from long journeys to everyday mobility.

    Behind QWSTION is a team of dedicated specialists led by Swiss industrial designer Christian Kaegi. It all started with a piece of luggage that was to be more functional than a classic leather bag and more elegant than a sports backpack, robust and hard-wearing on the one hand and made from natural materials on the other.

    Characterized by Swiss design, the QWSTION team in Zurich develops timeless designs with practical details - and with impressive precision. For example, every bag is also a rucksack - and vice versa. The wide fabric straps are characteristic. They form the structure of the bags - elaborately and robustly sewn - in almost all parts of the range. Thanks to the hard-wearing outer material and many practical features, they are perfect everyday companions.

    QWSTION makes no compromises when it comes to the choice of materials. The Swiss company uses organic cotton and recycled materials that are processed to the highest standards. The most important production partner is a small factory in the city of Huizhou outside Hong Kong, which is BSCI (Business and Social Compliance Initiative) certified. The EU initiative aims to implement European standards with regard to working conditions and ecological aspects in non-EU countries. Alternatively, the manufacturer has been launching its own textile on the market for some time: Bananatex® is the world's first technical fabric made from banana plant fibers, which is now being used for the first time in the company's own bag collection. Because QWSTION is a variation on the English word "question", the Swiss question the established and established. The dedicated team conducted intensive material research for over three years. The abaca banana plant is cultivated in the Philippine highlands. As a natural alternative to synthetic, petroleum-based textiles, the in-house development is not only ecological and economical, but also very robust and durable, light and flexible, with a finely textured feel. Regardless of the base material, a layer of beeswax makes the fabrics used water-repellent and hard-wearing. With use, QWSTION bags develop a beautiful patina.
