Size isn't the point. Meet F44 WALTER—the tiniest tarp backpack FREITAG has ever made. This compact, versatile mini bag is winning over everyone who can get by with just a little stuff and a lot of attention.

Anyone who thinks mini backpacks are nothing more than a passing fashion trend is missing the point. Focusing on essentials is always smart. But carrying around half-empty bags is as pointless and wasteful as running trucks with empty trailers. And because FREITAG has always been about making the most out of every resource, F44 WALTER isn't just the smallest tarp backpack ever. You can also sling it crossbody, carry it on your shoulder, or grab it by the handle.

The new F44 WALTER goes one step further than your «average» FREITAG one-off. As with its big brother, the F49 FRINGE, the bag designers not only cut the most beautiful pieces from the used truck tarpaulins but also select the zipper color that matches best.

F44 WALTER doesn’t pretend to be your classic everyday workhorse or business bag. It's simply too small for all that. It'll hold a mini tablet, a snack, swimming gear or a water bottle—but definitely not all at once. This colorful little cutie is the perfect free-time bag for anyone who likes to travel light but doesn’t mind carrying all the envious-looking stares.

Available at all FREITAG Stores, selected retail partners and at freitag.ch.
