ICONIC BAGS REIMAGINED EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU
Following a joint venture in 2023, FREITAG has teamed up with Hender Scheme for the second time. Their collaboration is rooted in a shared passion for durable design and craftsmanship. For this edition, Hender Scheme reinterprets two iconic FREITAG one-off shoppers: the original tarp handles are replaced by the Tokyo label's signature leather offcut handles, giving the bags a distinctive new character.
The limited FREITAG by Hender Scheme collaboration comprises the F52-HS MIAMI VICE and F250-HS SONNY shoppers. Until now, they have been exclusively available at Hender Scheme. But now, at the request of the community, you have the exclusive opportunity — as a F-ederation member — to secure one of these limited one-offs.
HACKS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP: ABOUT HENDER SCHEME
Hender Scheme crosses the boundaries between fashion, craft and art. Founded in Tokyo in 2010, the label produces shoes, bags, accessories and leather items. Hender Scheme stands for «New Craft»: traditional craftsmanship plants contemporary ideas in new contexts. Alongside timeless collections, this approach also results in attention-grabbing «hacks» of fashion and streetwear classics. Each piece is made by hand and develops its own patina.
In addition to five flagship stores in Japan, Hender Scheme also runs “circulation”, a platform for repairs, resale and workshops designed to extend product lifespans.
EXCLUSIVELY FOR F-EDERATION MEMBERS

NIJI-SOUSAKU: A SHARED PHILOSOPHY
The friendship between FREITAG and Hender Scheme is built on a mutual appreciation of craftsmanship and durable materials that have a story to tell. After the acclaimed initial collaboration in 2023, the limited edition is now being expanded: Hender Scheme gives the iconic FREITAG MIAMI VICE shopper and the compact F250 SONNY a visual and functional upgrade.
The collaboration between the two companies was guided by the Japanese concept of «niji-sousaku», meaning «secondary creation». Niji-sousaku stands for reinterpretation as a form of respect and carries deep cultural significance in Japan. But the philosophy is not only a core principle at Hender Scheme—it’s also part of FREITAG’s DNA.
LEATHER HANDLES, SHOULDER STRAP AND LOVINGLY CRAFTED DETAILS
The design principle is the same for both bags: the bag body made from used truck tarps remains unchanged, but the original handles are replaced by Hender-Scheme's signature natural-colored leather offcut handles. Over time, these develop a unique patina. In a smart upcycling twist, the original tarp handles are repurposed into an additional, long shoulder strap. This is how both brands show their appreciation for materials that would otherwise become waste. The design hack is completed with a practical button closure and a label on the edge of the bag.
