{"id":3020,"count":67,"description":"<strong>From the Bernese Jura<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMargelisch is a Swiss brand for bags, backpacks and wallets based in Corg\u00e9mont in the Bernese Jura and run by Reinhard Margelisch. Behind the brand is prodis-design GmbH, which also owns <a href=\"\/en\/brands\/7clouds\/\">7clouds<\/a>. Designs are drawn in Switzerland and sewn by hand in workshops in Kolkata, where Margelisch has produced since 2009. The workshops work under amfori BSCI. According to Margelisch, the company prefinances 65% of production costs and pays for the whole production before the goods are shipped.\r\n\r\n<strong>Leather, rPET, cardboard<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe leather backpacks and wallets are LWG-certified cowhide. Laptop backpacks such as the Lirn-001 are made of 98% recycled PET with GRS certification, with buckles in recycled polypropylene. There are also wallets of recycled, water-repellent cardboard that weigh about 40 grams.\r\n\r\n<strong>A second life for old sofas<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFor an upcycling line, Margelisch takes back discarded leather sofas and armchairs. Leather, foam, metal and wood are separated, the metal melted down and the wood turned into OSB board. The leather is prepared and cut in Switzerland. By the brand's own measurements, about 85% of a sofa's weight is kept out of the incinerator.\r\n\r\n<strong>RFID protection in your wallet<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMany of the leather wallets have a film that blocks your cards' radio signal. The models are named after cities such as Berlin, Vienna, London or Zurich and differ in card slots, coin pocket and closure.\r\n\r\n<strong>Margelisch x One Horizon<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe stock the RFID wallets, leather and canvas backpacks, laptop backpacks in rPET, shoulder bags, hip bags and the cardboard wallets. <a href=\"\/en\/journal\/backpack-laptop-everyday-use-comparison\/\">Our backpack comparison in the Journal<\/a> shows which one works for a laptop.
