1. Where do you draw your inspiration from?

We draw inspiration from our community, from daily actions to travel “inputs”.

2. How would you describe your designs?

We try to achieve functionality through design but always keeping a clear aesthetic.
We like clean lines when designing.

3. How did you get into designing Bags?

We are a team and we all come from different backgrounds, but we realized that since we ourselves were quite travellers and were moving a lot through the city, we missed some cool accesories that were functional and sustainable at the same time, so thats why we started designing them.

4. Which one is your favourite piece from your collection and why?

We really trust our Capsule backpack, our newest member, we have added a small embroidered text detail matching the color of the fabric that says I used to be a plastic bottle.

We think that it reflects Lefrik’s spirit in a perfect way. Plus, it has an inner bottle compartment and a trolley strap so its the funcionality made backpack!.

One of our long-time favourites is the Maverick, it makes us very proud because it’s quite unique, a foldable trolley that you cannot find elsewhere.

5. How would describe your LeFrik customers?

We believe they are people who look for practical, nice and sustainable products at reasonable prices.

We also feel that they share our aim to achieve a better world whilst they solve travel and city commuting problems.

6. When you are creating a piece or a collection, how does the process work?

We start by gathering inspiration from daily activities.
We create a color palette and a concept and we start working from there.

It consists of a trial-error process, sometimes what the creative team has in mind does not work at first, and other times we get very interesting details and possibilities from the errors that end up being very strong concepts in the collection.

We also care a lot about the feedback we receive through social networks from our clients and our international sales team.

7. What has been your biggest struggle as a designer?

Finding new sustainable materials and trying to achieve a circular design which can be easily recycled again.

8. What makes a good backpack?

We think the best combination is functionality through design.
It needs to be comfortable and lightweight, that’s our main goal.

9. How many bags do you own?

We have quite a few bags each of us.
On our daily basis we use Lefrik items because we like testing them ourselves to check that each new item we launch fulfills the goal that was designed for.

10. If you weren’t a designer, what would you be doing?

Travelling through the world being a climate activist sounds quite nice, doesnt it?
Otherwise being an impact investor, supporting only social and environmental projects would be such an amazing experience.

11. Your favourite moment of the day?

Maybe not the ‘favorite moment of the day’ but our favorite moment would be when you finish packing everything before starting a new travel or adventure.
