Any recent grads with travel plans will be interested in FREITAG's newly launched 'Borrow-a-Travel-Bag' program.
This summer, the Zurich-based bag company will allow travelers to borrow a F512 VOYAGER backpack for free. From June 29th to September 30th, anyone can go to a FREITAG store or participating Borrow-a-Travel-Bag dealer and ask to borrow a bag for up to three weeks. All the borrower needs to do is return the bag within the three week period, and post a few pictures of the bag on their travels using the hashtag #gonewithfreitag.
The F512 VOYAGER is an ultra sturdy backpack with padded, adjustable straps. Made out of used truck tarpaulins and used car seat belts, this travel bag is durable and light-weight.
