Material Features
Lotus
The Lotus Series is the epitome of nature inspired purity. The outer surface is manufactured from rubberized, phthalate-free PU. On the inside a soft fleece makes sure that all your belongings will be protected from scratches. The gummed and matt finish gives the series a very modern-tech and contemporary look.
Lotus Infinity
Unique in its performance when it comes to functionality, durability and aesthetic beauty. The 'PUrTEX∞' is a progressive material – resource-saving, easy-care and water-resistant. A new leather alternative made from recycled textiles, finished with a coating of extremely abrasion-resistant and solvent-free polyurethane.
Phantom - Reflective
The Phantom Series is the next generation of minimal aesthetic backpacks for urban outdoor enthusiasts and cyclists. It will keep its matte-decent finish during the day but at night, it will become highly reflective. Thanks to our custom material ECO-RFLX-900, microscopic glass beads will send back light to its source providing an extra safety feature while biking or walking.
Bauhaus Collaboration
The elementary core of the The Bauhaus / Ucon Acrobatics Collaboration is an innovative material. Cork from Portugal is cut into thin layers and then fixed to a silver waterproof film. In the final step, blue paint is applied to the cork surface using a rubber roller. The unique structure of cork, with its jagged textures, allows for a unique artistic composition.
