NEW MEETS SUSTAINABLE

Halfar backpack model CIRCLE from the 2023 new collection

#5 reasons that make our 10 new bags real favourites!

Our new bags are here and we’re sure you’ll love them as much as we do. And there are really good reasons for that. Here are the 5 most important ones:

#1. Recycled and really beautiful

The recycling movement has also arrived in the world of fashion and bags – and we at HALFAR® have been part of it for a long time. 90% of our novelties are now made with rPET. A material that is made from recycled PET bottles.

For example, the new sports bag OUTDOOR with light and airy rPET ripstop in five colours, which can be carried as a backpack or shoulder bag or simply by the handle. The large box-shaped weekender DAILY and the new notebook backpack CIRCLE L really showcase recycled material.

#2. PVC-free without compromise

All our new products are PVC-free – even if they have a hip tarpaulin look. Like the great new ACTIVE series. The PU-coated recycled fibre and the mix of different surface decors make up the slightly technical character of this new family of two bags. The special feature: the decor is not printed but embossed. This saves printing inks and other resources.

#3. In love with design down to the last detail

Do you love urban style? Straight lines, exciting material mixes, fashionable colours and interesting details? Then the new products will convince you. One example: the notebook backpack FELLOW with a range of five colours, including fashionable shades of yellow, green and blue. This matches its trendy cargo style with two patch pockets. The REFLEX, on the other hand, only needs one colour to stand out. The notebook backpack with the reflective surface sets exciting accents and with HALFAR® FAST LANE offers a fast, individual finishing option from just one piece.

#4. New Mobility

In the city, you’re always on the move: by bike, by car, by bus, by train, on foot… Our new bags are made for just that and offer many carrying options. Handles, flaps, loops, straps, pads, compartments… you’ll find them everywhere. Because all our new products have what it takes to be New Mobility.

The anchors of the ACTIVE bags are striking, for example, as they function both as zip sliders and as toggle hooks for the attached loop straps. This allows the sports/travel bag – winner of the Promotional Gift Award 2023 in the Premium Product category – to be converted into a backpack. The additional handle options are also exciting for both models: The sports/travel bag and notebook backpack have handles on various sides, ideal for lockers or luggage compartments. In XXL format, the shopper BIG made of robust two-tone fabric with its double handles offers the possibility of shouldering up to 48L skilfully. And the redesigned notebook backpack LOFT now has two litres more volume to offer at 24 litres.

#5. Resource-saving and climate-neutral

Using what is available and saving waste: this begins with the cutting and design of the bags. We use materials sensibly, avoid leftovers and think about design and material alternatives. This is the case with the shopping basket, for example, which we now also offer without an aluminium frame. The new large SOFTBASKET is literally a mega novelty. 12 colours, 2 carrying options and the enormous advertising space make for great fun. Like all our storage bags and our entire company, this innovation is climate-neutral. This means: we avoid emissions where we can and compensate for those that cannot be avoided. In this way, we support climate projects – and you participate.

Any questions about the new ones? Our team promotional bags is looking forward to inspiring and advising you. In any case, we are proud of the new collection and look forward to a beautiful, sustainable bag year 2023.
