From Discarded Fishing Nets to Stylish Bags: genten Launches New 'Trabucco' Series

When choosing a bag for travel, what if you could find one whose story moves your heart as much as its lightness and storage capacity?

The genten 'Trabucco' series is born from the idea of circular living in harmony with nature, reusing discarded fishing nets into functional and beautiful bags.

Available in a calm charcoal fabric and a soft sand-beige fabric, the collection offers six distinct styles, allowing you to choose the perfect travel companion that reflects your personal style.

Fishing Nets Meet Organic Cotton: Creating 'Meaningful Nylon'

Fishing nets, due to their saltwater content, are difficult to incinerate and often become marine waste if left unmanaged.

By repurposing these used nets, genten transforms them into a recyclable, sustainable material form.

Many may associate nylon with a cold, glossy texture.

Yet, when held, the blend with organic cotton delivers a surprisingly warm and soft hand feel.

The accompanying leather uses vegetable tanning, which becomes more supple and lustrous with continued use.

Elegant Wrinkle Texture: Stylish Even When Creased

The Trabucco fabric features an intentional wrinkle finish.

With its uneven texture reminiscent of rippling waves and a refined semi-gloss sheen, the material looks effortlessly stylish—never sloppy, even when creased.

The main fabric comes in two colors: a charcoal that feels deep yet not overly heavy, and a soft sand-beige that exudes warmth. Both tones seamlessly blend into seasonal wardrobes, from summer outfits to autumn and winter ensembles.

Lightweight, Durable, and Water-Resistant

Thanks to its tough, fishing net-derived material, the Trabucco series is water-resistant and ready for sudden rain showers.

It is also the lightest collection ever produced by genten.

Functional Beauty in a Minimalist Design

The design embraces minimalist elegance with functional beauty.

Bold, strategically placed stitching and leather reinforcements at high-stress points reflect genten’s signature craftsmanship.

Secure zipper closures and multiple exterior pockets enhance practicality, allowing organized storage for smartphones, umbrellas, handheld fans, and paperbacks.

With its lightweight build and water-repellent finish, the Trabucco series is designed to accompany you in both daily life and travel.
