Travel bag Travel Pack Bananatex

Everything with you and always suitable: with an adjustable volume of 25 to 32 liters, detachable backpack straps and side handles, the TRAVEL PACK is the ideal bag for all types of travel. Whether as a travel bag in your hand or as an extra piece of luggage on your back - this versatile companion made from Cradle to Cradle-certified and water-repellent Bananatex® can be used to store everything from clothes and laptops to documents, cables and more. The large YKK® zipper opening of the main compartment makes packing easy. The inner merino felt is made in zero-waste cuts and provides additional protection for everything stowed away. Two inner compartments - one of which is designed for a laptop up to 16 inches in size - and an additional small outer pocket with a zipper ensure that the items stored are well organized.

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.
