ZIPPELIN by FREITAG, the first inflatable intercontinental travel bag
Robust and multifunctional
December 3rd, 2018
What do travel trolleys made of truck tarps with the most loved two-wheeled vehicle ever have in common? The answer is FREITAG, a Zurich brand that makes its core business eco-sustainable in the production processes and materials used. With this philosophy and the idea of finding an alternative to the cumbersome baggage that we drag around the world and, once at home, we do not know where to store, has proposed a project to kickstarter.com users. The idea presented is simple and, at the same time, innovative: a special bag, not equipped like the usual accessories of a tube and body structure, but made with an inner tube of a common bicycle that can be inflated with any pump at all times and change. Thus was born F733 ZIPPELIN, an 85-liter baggage that can literally deflate, be rolled up and be stored at the end of the journey, occupying a space slightly larger than a two-liter bottle.
Other features? The truck tarps with which it is made is extremely resistant and waterproof; the wheels are those of a skateboard; its design is so unique and recognizable from far away that it does not need a plate with the owner's contact details not to be confused on the airport's luggage belt.
Not bad, right? The many kickstarter.com backers have also thought of it, which in less than a day managed to reach the 100,000 Euro fundraising goal, making the FREITAG project a reality. The lucky ones among them have won a bag in preview and, the overall success of F733 ZIPPELIN has made possible this smart accessory to enter the official range of the Swiss brand from the beginning of 2019.
