Carbon Footprint

The Carbon Footprint of POLKU consists of the main materials, metal details, lining, production, logistics, packaging and the end of the road in recycling, when your bag has served its time. All decisions made within this cycle have an impact on the emissions caused.

Multifunctionality

This tote was created to serve with many different functions, adjusting to your changing needs during days or years. The POLKU tote bag comes with adjustable & detachable handles and a crossbody strap. Add even more versatility with separate backpack straps.

Introducing the functions

1. Long strap with short handles - this allows you to easily carry the tote with you
2. No strap with long handles - flip the tote onto your shoulder by lengthening the handles for comfort and support
3. Just a crossbody - easy on the go for a bike ride or other means of transportation
4. On the back - secure the additional backpack straps and make the most out your tote bag, now turned spacious backpack

Added Functions

Feel like you would need just a little bit more? No worries, we got you covered. You can also fit the POLKU tote with backpack straps, unlocking even more ways of use. The thick straps equipped with additional pads ensure comfort when carrying.
