* Our products are created through upcycling, not recycling. In recycling, the waste material is first destroyed to make something new from it (very high energy consumption). In upcycling, something completely new is created directly from the base material (in our case, by hand).

Where does the name GEORG come from?
Georg is Sissi's younger brother. The model was designed for him because he spends a lot of time in the city, rides his bike, and always has his computer and sports gear with him.

How big is the GEORG BACKPACK really?
16.2 L closed, expandable to 22.3 L open (rolltop). Space for a laptop up to 15 inches, a toiletry bag, and a water bottle.

Will a laptop fit inside?
Yes, up to 15 inches. Three interior pockets (1 large, 2 small) and three extra deep exterior pockets offer additional space for small items.

Is the backpack waterproof or only water-resistant?
Water-resistant, yes — it holds tight against splashes and short rain. It is not designed for continuous rain or submersion.

Is the backpack really handmade?
Yes, handmade in Cambodia, designed in Vienna, and personally signed by the person who sewed it.

Is every GEORG really unique?
Every fish feed bag had its own life before. The characteristic fish on the front are guaranteed; the color gradient and wear may vary slightly from piece to piece.

How much material gets a second life?
Around 410 g of PP per piece — that corresponds to approximately 2.4 fish feed bags.

How quickly will my order arrive?
We ship your order within 1–4 business days. Delivery in Austria usually takes 2–3 business days. From €75, we ship for free (AT and DE).

What does my purchase have to do with the Mango Tree School?
At least 5% of our annual profit goes to our passion project "Mango Tree School" in Cambodia — this allows us to finance the salary of teacher Rithy and the learning materials for over 90 students. A small way to give something back to the country where the majority of our products are made.
