LAIDBACK LONDON

Laidback london was born out of a desire to go back to basics. To make products the old fashioned way - by hand, using traditional techniques. To work with the im-perfections to create naturally unique and individual products. Timeless pieces that are made to last, that wear better with age.

Since 2002

Having moved to London in 1997, the label’s founder wanted to bring back a part of the laid-back lifestyle he had experienced gro-wing up on the coastal town of Mombasa to the big city. The first pair of laidback lon-don sandals were sold from a market stall on Portebello Road in the summer of 2002.

Walk, don’t run.

Giving back. Making a difference. Laidback London has established an infrastructure that creates jobs, provides sustainable incomes for the wor-kers and preserves their skills and artistry. The work Laidback do has a positive social and economic impact- em-powering local communities, giving hope and providing opportunities through education for future generations.

Made by hand. Keeping the processes handmade allows us to build the work force and create maximum employment. The leather, which is sourced from a local, family owned tannery is hand dyed and sundried before being cut by hand. The uppers are then hand embellished with tiny colourful beads using a technique that symboli-ses the traditions of the various local tribes. Different to any other, this painstaking method of sewing every fourth bead directly onto the leather can take one person up to half a day to embellish just two pairs of sandals.The uppers are then hand embellished with tiny colourful beads using a technique, which symbolises the traditions of the various local tribes.

The Originals. Best known for what has now become the brands signature line, laidback london sandals have a truly authentic, handmade feel.

RoecklBottle Bag - Roeckl’s line of bags with a green conscience

The bag collection unites sustainability with modern design, and demonstrates with charming form how PET material can be newly interpreted

Society is undergoing radical changes: increasingly globalisation and digitisation are changing living condi-tions as well as uses and requirement of products. At the same time, people long for ethical values and individuality. Sustainable activities and environmental awareness are becoming increasingly important.

The long-established company Roeckl is aware of its ecological responsibili-ties, and isn’t solely making a fashion statement with its line of bags ‘Bottle Bag’. The eco-friendly ‘Bottle Bag’ is made out of recycled PET, cleverly re-versing the recycling process: from bottles to bags! The classic sporty bag line captivates with its beautiful sha-pes, its ultra-light weight and its won-derful variety of colours and sizes. The bags are spacious and hard-wearing, and the choice of colours leaves no-thing to be desired: from a summery white, a sunny mango shade, fresh lime and rich jungle green to oxblood red, dark navy blue, radiant water-fall blue and classic olive brown as well as a colourful butterfly print - the bags, which come in six practical si-zes ranging from cosmetic bags to weekenders, are the perfectly-mat-ched companion for every situation.

The brilliantly coloured recycled PET canvas is foldable and washable, and is combined with vegetable-tanned calf leather elements. A removable carrying strap ensures optimal comfort for the wearer when carrying heavy luggage.
