Saskia Diez "Papier Bag"

i've blogged about this bag here and now you can purchase them :)

Take up the familiar, give it further thought and add something new: A collaborative project between Saskia and Stefan Diez, the “Papier” series is an experiment in revising the classical typology: the two designers have pointed out the basic requirements to a travel bag – durability, protection and light weight – and sought for an appropriate material other than the traditional choices of leather and reinforced textiles. The “Papier” bags are made of Tyvek®, a synthetic paper that is extremely lightweight – 135g for the bigger and 115g for the smaller bag – but at the same time exceptionally robust, both water- and tear-proof. The material is completely recyclable. Apart from that, one will appreciate the high-end finishes applied to such seemingly banal material as paper. Silkscreen printing techniques gives it a particularly attractive look. "Papier" won the German Designpreis 2010.

During last Fashion Week in Paris we presented a series of bags entirely made of synthetic paper in collaboration with the label SASKIA DIEZ. They are ultra lightweight, super strong and water-resistant but look like design mock-ups. The material is produced by Luxemburg based manufacturer DUPONT© and later on processed by specialists in several sites in Germany. After a long time of usage the bags are fully recyclable like ordinary PE shopping bags.
The production of the 36×20×41cm 115gram tote bag and the 49×25×32cm 135 gram weekender has just started.
They will be available in selected shops from end of April onwards and in the online showroom of Saskia Diez:
