The joy of travel may have been hampered by harsh lockdowns near and far, but notabag‘s new Hello World Collection helps us to nurture our desire for exploration and new experiences through intricate designs of faraway places. The Frankfurt-based brand has teamed up with Austrian-British design duo Sylvia Moritz and Rowen Ottesen of The City Works to create a collection of bags and pouches that’ll take you to all the iconic destinations you’ve been longing for. The Hello World Collection features monuments from favourite places around the planet. The intricate design brings faraway sites such as the Sydney Opera House or the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona to life. Each of the landmarks evokes feelings of familiarity or brings back memories of past travels.
The individual monuments blend together as they become part of one design, forming a beautiful unity that symbolises what the world is all about, celebrating the spirit of wonder and togetherness. Indeed, this collection is bound to resonate with proud locals and seasoned travellers alike. Available in red, blue and black, the design features not only iconic landmarks in Sydney and Barcelona, but also includes sites in London, Agra, New York City, Vienna, Rome and Paris. Notabag is the smart combination of a bag and a backpack, transforming with a single pull on the straps, so you can put it on your back and free your hands. Inside the bag, there is an attached pocket where you can keep your wallet or your keys. When the bag is not in use, it easily folds into that pocket and becomes a hand-sized pouch. This sleek, eco-friendly tote changes the rules, adapting to everyday life.
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
