I had a crush on TORBUSCHKA by Kaaita, a collection of bags made from recycled plastic bottles, designed to be timeless, beyond all seasons and fashion trends. The bags are versatile and can be used in the classic way (carried around) or as a home object. Sewn in Slovenia, they come in three-in-one combinations in large and extra large sizes and 4 colours (black, grey black, passionate red and light grey).
Kaaita was founded by Alenka Repič, and the company produces locally, using only sustainable resources and recycled materials. “KAAITA is offers many products to choose from. But, honestly, products are not what matters most. What matters is the statement they make – a playful invitation into the world of sustainability, creativity and co-operation. This is why KAAITA makes and sells its products with a proud attitude” says Alenka.
