The original messenger bag, available in three sizes and made from used tarpaulins of large, especially lengthy freight trucks. The website shows a movie of Freitag's operations. The bag's functional design consists of a robust shape and a waterproof construction that enables doubling of its volume by folding out the bag. This design has been carried through in all details: from the special packaging to a book in which the bag travels over the world. " Authenticity. Genuineness. A product we can put our trust in. A product that is honest. The real thing. The Freitag bag is an urban tool, a saddlebag for the city cowboy (and the small-town deputy) that links what is real with what is virtual and carries it all over the world." Gift from the designer.
