Ansvar backpack in Nougat by Mela

"ansvar I" backpack

ansvar is the first backpack to be both Fairtrade Cotton and GOTS certified. With the introduction of the state-run "Green Button" textile seal, it has also received this certification. In Scandinavian, the word "ansvar" means responsibility. Thus, the concept of our backpack combines sustainability and Scandinavian design. It is made exclusively from sustainable materials. These include organically produced cotton canvas as well as vegetable-tanned leather and nickel- and chrome-free buckles. The dense canvas fabric protects against light rain and is quick-drying. Due to various influences during use, a unique, individual product is created. The volume of the Ansvar I can be varied by rolling it up or down, making it an ideal everyday companion.
