Each year, several thousand wild boars are hunted in Switzerland. Unfortunately only the meat of these animal is used, all other parts are disposed of. The aim of the project is to use also the precious skin.
Thus originated the "Sanglier" bag, which shows the unique optic of the leather, formed by life in the wilderness.
"Sanglier" can be used as a tote bag, or be converted into a backpack.
