Manufacturer’s product description
The children’s gym bag from TA Trend Atelier impresses with its well-thought-out combination of functionality, sustainability, and child-friendly design. It is ideal for kindergarten, school, sports, or leisure activities and has been specially tailored to the needs of girls and boys. It is made from 100% recycled polyester (rPET) and thus actively contributes to environmental protection, as recycling means less plastic ends up in nature. The PFC-free, water- and dirt-repellent impregnation also ensures a durable, dry material.
Its high level of comfort is particularly noteworthy. Soft, sturdy cords with individually adjustable lengths and a practical chest strap with Velcro fastener prevent slipping. Reflectors provide additional safety by increasing visibility in traffic. An integrated name tag on the inside makes it easy to personalize.
All in all, this is a thoroughly well-designed and sustainable product for the everyday life of little adventurers.
Advantages
- High wearing comfort
- Water and dirt repellent
- Reflectors for added safety
Disadvantages
- No separate inner compartment
