Johnny Urban
Backpacks and bags from Hamburg – minimalist design, fairly produced.
Johnny Urban was founded in 2016 in Hamburg's Schanzenviertel and stands for modern and functional backpacks, bags and caps. Many models in the Eco Series are made from (rPET) – sourced from PET bottles, impregnated PFC-free and produced in BSCI-certified factories.
The Eco Series –
The Eco Series is the heart of the range. In 2020 alone, 1.2 million 0.5-litre bottles were processed this way. The fabrics are impregnated PFC-free and therefore low in harmful substances.
The best-known Eco models are the rolltop Aaron (18 l), the compact Robin (12.5 l) and the junior version Aaron Junior for children.
