BRAND to BRAND
What other brands Freitag fans prefer? Do they share certain “tastes” among themselves?
B’s CUT
Freitag bags indeed function as “bags” with durability and easy access to contents-two of the most notable factors that this magazine has thus far found. A series of experiments were conducted to prove what makes a bag a Freitag. * This section is presented with fictitious events in a documentary format so called mockumentary.
BRAND STORY
Freitag fans often draw attention with their bags-a subtle yet vital set of “clues” to their tastes. A Freitag bag indeed means more than a bag. A story of Markus and Daniel Freitag brothers, the founders of the brand, tells more about the brand. * Markus and Daniel Freitag Brothers
USER’s CUT

Description
In 1993, Markus and Daniel Freitag brothers first created their own brand of recycled products, FREITAG, using tarpaulins, inner tubes from bicycles and automobile seatbelts. Freitag brothers have seen commercial success in the global market; yet at the same time, they are in constant pursuit of sustainable business cycle.
Publisher and founder Suyong Joh introduces both Freitag and Magazine B:
The magazine’s first issue is “Freitag” – the very brand I have always considered well-balanced. Freitag offers bags made from reused material – however, thistakes only small portion of the vertex of the prism – “philosophy.” Practicality as they perfectly function as bags, style and sophisticated business operation paired with carefully planned production and supply chain, are taking the brand to the different realm from conventional environmental movement calling for use of, for example, eco bags.
First of all, Freitag’s bag is very functional. That’s what the bag-maker seems to be focusing on the most. At the same time, its products are stylish and they consciously convey messages. I think a recycled product repels its potential customers when it explicitly states it’s recycled. For anyone who aspires to be eco-conscious, not necessarily an environmental activist, Freitag could be one of the answers.Suyong Joh, Publisher of Magazine B
The entire manufacturing process is transparent – it is easy to see where every part of Freitag products comes from. I personally like adding variations to making method revolving around the same material and I think Freitag is good at it.Kwangho Lee, Designer
This issue of B pairs perfectly with Magazine B: Thule, Magazine B: Vibram and Magazine B: Patagonia
