Cho'jac -
This young Berlin-based label has rediscovered the ancient craft of making net bags, that has survived in the mountains of Mexico to the present day: over a period of several weeks, natural sisal leaves are transformed into extremely stretchy fibres and nets. Traditionally, the net bag
is worn with a single leather strap across the forehead in order to transport heavy loads.
The modern variation is this Cho’jac rucksack that can be transformed into a shoulder bag. The nets, made by hand by local craftsmen in Mexico, are finalized in traditional workshops in and around Berlin, also exclusively by hand.
The leather straps come from German cattle and were tanned using natural methods. The high-quality lining is made from pure, durable linen, produced in Germany, and is sewn in a local workshop by people with disabilities. All parts of the Cho’jac bags can be replaced or repaired and if the rivets are removed the whole bag is biodegradable, as it’s completely made from natural materials.
