Sustainable travel bags for a better environment

Don't forget: fairly produced travel bags are not always the same as ecological and sustainable. The seamstresses may be paid appropriately, but that does not necessarily mean that they work in a factory that ensures sustainable and environmentally friendly production. Not so with Fair Couture. Although not all brands can always afford a Fairtrade certificate, all labels, without exception, promise environmentally friendly and sustainable production.

FAQ

How many liters of travel bag for 1 week?
For a week-long vacation, we recommend a travel bag with a capacity of between 50 and 70 liters. In models of this size, you should be able to store everything you need and also have space for holiday souvenirs.

Which is better: suitcase or travel bag?

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The travel bag has a lower weight compared to the suitcase. Thanks to their soft and flexible fabric, they also offer more storage space and can be stored to save space when not in use. The only disadvantage is that they have to be worn constantly. However, you can roll a suitcase behind you.

Can you use a travel bag as hand luggage?

It doesn't matter whether your hand luggage is a small suitcase, a travel bag or a backpack. However, the dimensions and weight of the luggage are important, although these vary from airline to airline. The maximum permitted weight is usually between 8 and 10 kilograms.
