OUR STORY
REDBAG . Sometimes a name says it all. Yes, we make bags, red bags. But there's a story behind it. Behind every bag. Behind the red. A REDBAG is a unique handmade bag, of high quality. Made in combination with the most heroic material to be recycled: fire hoses.
We have found a way to reuse rather than throw away firefighters' everyday equipment, with a conscious and fashionable approach.
Written off fire hoses from the Netherlands and Belgium that tell a story of heroism and brotherhood. We process these fire hoses in bags and accessories.
Not only the recycling of used materials was central, but we also want to do this in a socially responsible manner.
With the help of a sheltered workshop and supporting social charities. Items that people would wear and use with pride.
This is how REDBAG was born.
MISSION
REDBAG is happy to contribute, out of love for the planet and the people who live on it.
That's what touches my heart.
In addition to helping reduce waste (and looking good!), we like to contribute to good causes.
Will you help too?
The person behind REDBAG is Robert, a firefighter at heart with a red heart, with a passion for the history of the fire service.
Robert has also been a beekeeper and rescue worker for years with a team that is deployed all over the world to save people from earthquakes and disasters.
Save the bee, save the people, save the world. Always looking to improve the world.
With my background, I have a strong passion for the fire service, its history and its people.
With REDBAG I want to express respect and gratitude to all firefighters and their work.
I try to contribute, out of love for the planet and the people who live on it.
Unique. Honestly.
REDBAG. Recycled Heroism.
Vision
The goal is to reduce waste and increase the impact and footprint of REDBAG as a sustainable and responsible fashion & lifestyle brand.
And to be able to support and support social goals.
We produce in small batches and when these are sold we make more. We don't overproduce without knowing what works.
That way we don't have dead stock.
