Affentor: Luxury Recycling Bags from Frankfurt

I’m having a two day hang out in Frankfurt with Karmakonsum, brainstorming and working on new projects, and taking the challenge to visit a few cool projects here in Frankfurt as well.

Yesterday I paid a visit to the shop and office of the designer bag label Affentor. Affentor is a luxury bag label with social touch. The bags partly made of recycled materials, and produced in a social project in the city.

Asking how they source their textiles for recycling, Nana Agic, designer of the Affentor label, told me hilarious stories of old ladies coming in to the shop with their old coat to have them recycled. Well, if you see those bags, you wouldn’t say so.

I especially like the Affentor notebook bags. Not everything is from recycled mateirals, but they do their best to source ethically as much as possible.
