Fabricated from German gym equipment used in the 1950s, Zirkeltraining ‘s bags, laptop cases and wallets stand out because of the material’s heritage, not its greenage. Zirkeltraining is German for ‘circuit training’, which makes sense when one learns that the bags are made from gym mats, pommel horse leather and trampoline rescue nets. Each of the handmade products is unique, with the finite amount of raw material providing a refreshingly genuine reason for limited edition status. The previous life of each item is made apparent with Zirkeltraining’s assertion that items contain ‘a little bit of sweat’, Prices range from EUR 90 to EUR 249, and Zirkeltraining products are currently available from selected stockists in Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Japan and Austria.
