Sustainable, design-driven luxury bags, backpacks, and travel accessories.

About Svenklas

Luxury bags that are sustainably made? Yes, please. Svenklas makes backpacks, tote bags, briefcases, fanny packs, and more in a simple yet elevated design out of sustainable raw materials.

Why We Love Them

Svenklas believes that good design and sustainability don’t have to be mutually exclusive, and we’re in agreement. They use natural materials to create minimal, functional and aesthetically pleasing bags for your daily life.

Origin Story

Svenklas was created by Nikhil and Nischal Sharma, who shared a vision to create a lifestyle brand inspired by Nordic heritage and the Himalayan landscape. They saw the current manufacturing landscape and felt the urge to create products that were rich in meaning, quality and story, but also did so in a way that was good for the environment. They spent months looking for the right materials, finding the right ethical factories, testing their designs, and ultimately crafting the best luxury products they could make.

The TL;DR

  • Ethically manufactured out of sustainable, raw materials sourced across the world
  • Partners with GiveIndia to plant trees for every product sold
  • Sells fanny packs, backpacks, tote bags, and more!

The Science & The Soul

The Science

Svenklas works directly with local factories across the world in Italy, Spain, Turkey, and Argentina to get the best quality fabric and leather to create their products. Each product is third party tested to guarantee quality and durability as well. Plus, they stick to a simple yet traditional design to stay away from trends that may go out of style quickly. That way, you’ll have your Svenklas for years to come. 

The Soul

Sustainability is at the core of everything Svenklas does. They use raw materials in their clean-energy manufacturing process. Their bags are free of toxic chemicals, and they continuously focus on reducing their carbon footprint. Plus, all of their products are made in ethical factories that support competitive pay, fair working housing, and safe working environments. 


Additionally, Svenklas hosts two programs to help with their environmental footprint. They have a recycling program for you to recycle your old Svenklas bags when you are done with them. They also work with GiveIndia to plant 2 trees for every Svenklas product you purchase.
