 Notabag combines a fashionable aesthetic, practical and eco-conscious design with high quality, long-lasting materials. Notabag makes smart, simple, functional bags that allow the user to move seamlessly through the day without needing to use single-use plastic or lug around any extra weight. The patented Original Notabag transitions from tote to backpack with a simple pull of the straps and won the German Design Award in 2016. The brand won again in 2023 with the new Notabag Crossbody, a patented design bag that you can carry over shoulder, across your body or in your hand. You simply pop the buttons to unfold the Notabag Crossbody to laptop size for additional space. The brand offers high quality, durable, recycled fabrics and are members of 1% for the Planet. The brand also received the Good Design Award in 2019.

The brand collaborates with small factories with good working conditions. Notabag is available for custom designs for all size projects and have worked with a wide range of clients such as Guggenheim Museum, Audi, Red Bull and more.

  “Unbelts makes belts that even the biggest belt hating skeptic loves because I am that person.” - Jarah, Founder of Gear Collective 

How? By using extra tough 100% recycled materials with a non-slip silicone grip and options on hardware made of hypoallergenic zinc allowing you to keep your belt on and remain beep-free when passing thru security. The belts are also washable and you can even leave the belt in the loops while washing! 

Unbelts are really comfortable stretchy belts that fit your body exactly as it is today and exactly as it may be in a few months or years. Say goodbye to muffin top and having to add a new hole to your belt. No need with Unbelts! The brand covers everyone with adult and kids sizing and scraps are used to make fun accessories! One style even has a secret inner pocket.
