Collection: GRUNBAG
Upcycled products created in Denmark, the Scandinavian country famous for Andersen fairy tales and a design powerhouse, to create one-of-a-kind, sustainable products.
"Upcycling" is different from "recycling," where materials are converted into raw materials and reused; it refers to using the product itself as material to create a new product.
It is one of the new methods of manufacturing that breathe new life into unwanted or outdated products, creating items with higher dimensions and value.
GRÜNBAG upcycles usable products and materials that are still around us into fashionable items for our daily lives.
Commitment to Products:
GRÜNBAG is a one-of-a-kind upcycled product born in Denmark, a Nordic country famous for Andersen's fairy tales and a design powerhouse.
With a belief in recycling and creative design, GRÜNBAG's founder, Helen Leegaard, decided to take on the challenge of creating an ecological product.
Helen pours her soul into projects that reuse materials destined for the landfill.
From materials such as heavy-duty truck tarps, she shapes how fashionable design and practicality can coexist in a single product, creating high-quality bags from discarded materials.
Our colorful bag collection is unique for those who seek items that are truly different from the rest.
Made from materials created as industrial wear and fabrics, the items are extremely durable, and the bags become more tasteful in appearance with each use.
These products can be used as a partner for a long life.
We are always looking for new materials and continue to pursue creative recycling solutions.
To create unique products such as GRÜNBAG backpacks, sports bags, and pencil cases from reusable materials, we are working to uncover the potential of these materials.
We hope you too will take a chance on a gift from Denmark, the country that has repeatedly been awarded the world's best in happiness (according to the United Nations).
We hope that you will join us in this effort to achieve the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), starting with fashion.

Has〜Pursuit of the "beauty" of leather
Leather is a product of nature and living creatures.
Originally created as a byproduct of food production to "wrap" something, the softness and roundness of this ethical material, as well as its oil-soaked sheen, inspired me to start my own leather-making business. It was the beginning of my leather making.I have been involved in the world of leather for nearly 20 years, and have created a variety of products, from mass-produced items to one-of-a-kind, fully custom-made items. We launched this brand with this thought in mind.
Commitment to our products
One of the beauties of leather products is the beautiful threading of hand-stitching, the precision of machine sewing, and the design and use of distinctive metal fittings that emphasize the shine and texture of the metal. Some of them are also breathtakingly beautiful and have been created through skill, experience, and daily training.At Has, we use these techniques as a base,
The theme of our design is "wrapping".
The theme of our design is "Wrapping" based on these techniques.By daring to hide the seams and metal fittings that would normally be visible, we hope to bring out the "beauty" of the leather material and allow the wearer to experience the unique aging process of the leather.
The material used is bucketta leather, a traditional full-vegetable tanning method that is now quietly inherited by only a few tanneries in Italy.
The leather is known to take more time and effort than normal tanning, and is known for its texture created by the firmness of the leather and its high oil content, as well as its unique luster that increases with use.We combine natural and chemical dyes with our own sensitivity, dye, process, and finish the leather in the image of traditional Japanese colors, and carefully tailor it to bring out the best of the material. We then carefully craft the leather to bring out the best of the material, and by using it over time, we nurture a special "beauty" for the wearer.
It may sound like a cliché, but we would be very happy if our customers could develop their own unique and deeply tasting pieces by repairing and maintaining the items that our craftsmen and producers of the materials put their hearts and souls into and carefully give shape to.
