The Freitag F738 COOL BAG has been developed as a minimalist, space-age accessory that updates a simple summertime essential into a fashion-forward piece.
The bag has a silver-toned finish that's made out of used truck tarps and is paired with a food-safe insulated liner to accommodate food and drinks being placed inside. The recycled construction thus gives the accessory a competitive edge for sustainability, while the removable isothermal liner will keep items cool for up to two-hours. The bag also works well as a way to transport chilled items home from the grocery store.
The Freitag F738 COOL BAG comes with a detachable shoulder strap crafted out of discarded car seat bels with colorful handles created in collaboration with Precious Plastic Zurich.
