Volvo Cars and 3.1 Phillip Lim have collaborated on creating a new weekend bag made from Volvo’s leather-free interior materials.
The designer weekend bag is made from a new sustainable material for Volvo interiors called Nordico and follows the announcement earlier this year that, starting with the C40 Recharge, all new fully electric Volvo models will be completely leather-free. This commitment reflects Volvo Cars’ ambition to actively find high-quality and sustainable sources for many materials currently used in the wider car industry.
Nordico is a new, high-quality and innovative material created by Volvo Cars, which will make its debut in the brand’s next generation of fully electric cars. Consisting of textiles made from recycled material such as PET bottles, bio-attributed material from sustainable forests in Sweden and Finland, and corks recycled from the wine industry, Nordico sets a new standard for the future of premium car interior design.
The perfect companion for a weekend getaway, the bag has been inspired by the essence of Scandinavian design, and features discreet storage, a double strap and a special signature pouch.
The bag is will not be available for sale due to the exclusive limited-edition run, but people may have opportunities to get hold of a limited number of bags through local market initiatives such as competitions, charity auctions, and giveaways.
