ESKOLA | SCHOOL BAG | RABY FLORENCE | belle shell

For this limited edition of the ESKOLA, Berlin designer Raby-Florence Fofana has created the
print. Her abstract compositions and patterns have accompanied us through several
collaborations, and we are delighted every time one of her designs becomes a bag.
Because the print falls slightly differently on each bag when cut, every single piece is unique.

Inside, everything is just as you know it from our ESKOLA: three well-thought-out compartments, a
padded back, reflective piping, and magnetic FIDLOCK buckles that open with a single pull. The fabric is different: it is woven in Portugal from SEAQUAL
INITIATIVE yarn, which is made from plastic recovered from the sea. Inside, recycled PET felt gives the bag its shape, and edges and the bottom are reinforced, as always, with vegetable-tanned leather. Each bag is sewn in our studio in Berlin.

DETAILS 

Dimensions: 30 × 17 × 36 cm
Weight: approx. 850 g
Volume: 17 liters

Interior
The interior is divided into three compartments. The rear compartment sits directly against the back, so the
weight of books and notebooks is carried close to the body. This compartment is also made of
water-repellent organic cotton, providing extra protection for notebooks and books. The main compartment
has space for a pencil case, lunch box, and water bottle. In the front, there is a dedicated compartment for
smaller items so they are protected and easy to find again.
There is a zippered pocket in the flap for personal items. Keys hang from a carabiner, and a webbing loop holds the water bottle upright so nothing tips over or leaks.

Carrying comfort and visibility
The back panel and shoulder straps are padded, and the straps are adjustable in length.
This ensures the ESKOLA sits comfortably throughout the entire school day. Reflective piping on the edges
and on the leather trim in the front ensures that your child is well seen on dark winter mornings and
afternoons.

Closure
The magnetic FIDLOCK closures open with a simple pull downwards and
snap shut almost by themselves when closing. Even small hands can manage this without any help.

Chest strap
The ESKOLA sits so well on the back that most children do not need a chest strap.
If you would still like one, you can simply order it, and we will sew it directly onto the
bag.

MATERIAL & CARE 

Recycled polyester
The fabric is woven in Portugal from SEAQUAL INITIATIVE yarn. Plastic is collected from the sea, cleaned,
and spun into new yarn. The fabric is water-repellent and
robust.
Care: Brush off loose dirt when dry and remove small stains with a damp
microfiber cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, treat the fabric with a soft
brush, water, and a little mild soap, then rinse with clear water. Be careful
to ensure the leather edges remain dry. Dab the fabric dry with a towel and
let it air dry, away from heaters or direct heat.

Recycled PET felt
The inner lining is made of 100% recycled PET felt from Italy. The felt is dense and stable, giving
the bag its shape while remaining lightweight.
Care: The felt is protected on the inside and requires no special care. If something does spill,
dab the area with a damp cloth and leave the bag open to air dry.

Vegetable-tanned leather
The edges and bottom are reinforced with vegetable-tanned leather from Italy. It protects the
areas that see the most wear and tear in daily school life and develops a patina over time
that becomes deeper with touch, light, and use.
Care: Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
Balance out water spots or dry areas by rubbing the damp cloth over the spot and the surrounding area.
About once a year, the leather appreciates a natural, colorless leather wax or oil to nourish and protect it.
Be careful not to get any on the fabric, as it can cause stains.

Hardware
The magnetic closures are by FIDLOCK, and the sliders and carabiners are made of aluminum. They
require no special care.

Natural materials change over time. Colors may darken slightly or become softer, and that is exactly what shows what your bag is made of.
