About 7clouds
From the Bernese Jura
7clouds is a Swiss brand for backpacks, bags and accessories. Behind it is prodis-design GmbH in Corgémont, run by Reinhard Margelisch, which also owns Margelisch. Design and prototypes are made in Switzerland.
Recycled PET only
Since 2024 the outer fabric and lining of every bag are recycled PET, certified to the Global Recycled Standard. The outer fabric has a PU or TPU coating that keeps rain out. Buckles, strap adjusters and rings are recycled polypropylene. The lining used to be organic cotton; the switch makes the bags single-material and easier to recycle.
Handmade in Kolkata
The bags are sewn in a workshop in Kolkata that works under amfori BSCI. According to 7clouds, the brand prefinances 70% of production costs. Fabric is cut by hand so that even small offcuts end up in details of the bags, and the brand deliberately avoids computer-controlled sewing machines to keep jobs.
Wallets from tarpaulins
The RFID wallets are sewn from used tarpaulins with a leather interior. Each tarpaulin brings its own colours and marks, so every wallet is one of a kind. A film inside blocks your cards’ radio signal.
