The gym bag backpack from Smukbird®

In many ways, our gym bag is more than just a drawstring bag. We combine light-heartedness with robust materials so that you can enjoy your gym bag for a long time. The cork floor is water-repellent and wipeable. The cotton in our unique Smukbird® designs has a dense canvas quality. And thanks to the zippered compartment, important little items are quickly at hand.

Put it where you want

Cork fabric is a very remarkable material with a unique, pleasant feel. For our gym bag it is used in the lower area and as a bottom. This allows you to park it outdoors, on the grass or on the hiking trail. Because cork is water-repellent and can be easily wiped clean.

Simply practical

With our gym bag, details make the difference. A base for storage is sewn into the lower cork area. This way it stands better and you don't have to put it down.

You can use the back zip compartment for all important small items, such as your cell phone, wallet or keys.

GOTS-certified organic cotton

The production of organic cotton inside and out is GOTS certified and is subject to the socially and environmentally friendly GOT standards. The printing takes place within the EU in Poland at a modern textile printing company.

The organic cotton yarn is produced in the tranquil Netherlands.

The straps of the gym bag are made of recycled cotton.

Miracle material cork

Cork has a uniquely pleasant feel. The harvest is good for our environment and the people who grow cork oaks. Cork oak forests are particularly sustainable biotopes with diverse flora and fauna. The tree forms new bark every 9-11 years. A cork oak that is harvested binds 3 times as much CO₂ as one that is not harvested. Harvesting is a Portuguese tradition that can only be done by hand. It guarantees forest owners a secure and well-paid existence.

Why a gym bag from smukbird®? 

We, that is Manu and Bogdan, with a lot of experience in accessories made of cork, felt and cotton. Since 2008 we have been managing small companies that produce and sell felt and cork products. Since 2021 with our own company Smukbird®. With us, everything is Made in Germany.

Our contribution to the environment

Our contribution to the environment is not just the use of sustainable, natural and long-lasting materials for your gym bag. In addition, we plant three trees with every item shipped and thus support the reforestation projects of the global organization “Eden Reforestation Projects”. Here, unemployed farmers in Madagascar, for example, can earn their own living again through reforestation and at the same time valuable mangrove forests are being renaturalized.
