It was freezing cold but gallons of coffee made it tolerable. The closer I was to my destination, the more well-dressed people I saw and the more I was looking forward to seeing all the brands that came to Berlin to show their products. And even though I didn’t saw any revolution in the world of backpacks, the visit was worth it. So here some of my notes from the Seek Berlin trade show.
Pinqponq is a fresh brand for high quality backpacks and accessories based in Cologne, Germany. In its self-introduction, pinqpong says that it develops products that combine style, function and sustainability in a unique way.
The best thing about pinqpong is its focus on sustainability. Achieving sustainability is always easier said than done, yet pinqpong has actually made it. For all its products, pinqpong uses fabrics that are 100% made of recycled PET bottles. It is also a recognized bluesign® system partner, and member of Fair Wear Foundation (FWF), which means that the impact to environment is controlled, and working conditions in its factories are always verified and improved.
The Cubik Large are pinqpong’s most popular backpacks. As the name suggests, they are extremely spacious, with enough space for everyday modern essentials. They also have reflective design elements and all are water-repellent. Their two-way YKK zipper makes the main compartment easily accessible. There are also compartments for documents, laptop, ipads, cables… As for functionality, Cubik Large backpacks are one of the best.
Beside the trademark Cubik, pinqpong’s F/W collection 2016 also includes the duffle backpack known as the BLOK, a smaller daypack, the OKAY, and the label’s duffle carryon bag, the KARAVAN. Like Cubik, Blok backpacks are highly functional. They open in three different ways, making packing and finding your things really easy. And they have many different compartments for everything, from laptops, tablets, magazines to keys. And that’s not all: They are enlargeable to hold an additional 5 liters of goods.
