Description

The wide “OMkopen” shopper bag is built for practical days. Whether you’re carrying paperwork, groceries or your lunch and coffee, this bag handles it without fuss.

Its wider shape offers space and stability. You can set it down and it stays upright. The surface is easy to clean, which makes it ideal for daily use in the city.

Cut from retired fire hoses and shaped by hand, the bag keeps the firm structure and subtle markings of the original material. You can choose between short handles for carrying by hand or longer handles for wearing over your shoulder.

Each piece shows small variations in texture and surface details from its previous life. That’s part of what gives every OMkopen breed its own identity.

Who is this for

• For people who want a solid everyday bag that can handle work, groceries or both

Out of the ordinary

Because each bag is made from a different section of fire hose, texture and markings vary slightly per piece.
