Alva Medium Bag
An elevated essential through and through, the Alva Medium bag is a stylish accessory that you will want to use on repeat. Thanks to the practical half-moon shape, this bag opens into a surprisingly spacious interior with enough room to hold all your everyday must-haves and then some. Your cell phone remains quickly accessible in the front pocket with magnetic closure or - more safely - in the inner pocket made of soft felt.
The Lotus Infinity Series is crafted from 'PUrTEX∞' - a custom ultra-durable tech material that Ucon Acrobatics developed over several years. It is made from recycled textile waste and finished with a rigid coating of solvent-free polyurethane (PU).

Materials
'PUrTEX∞' is a custom ultra-durable tech material. Ucon Acrobatics has developed this progressive material over several years - which is second to none. Increased longevity - reduced thickness. Lower ecological footprint and steps into circularity. It is made from recycled textile waste and finished with a rigid coating of solvent-free polyurethane (PU). The PU foam layer has a cross-link structure, so the functional aspects are similar to molded rubber. The high performance has been proven in test results. The surface adhesion strength is four times better and the scratch resistance even improved over 100 times compared to conventional artificial leather. Furthermore, PU making is free of solvents such as DMF and VOC. The CO2e is reduced by over - 50%, the energy is reduced by over -40% and comes mainly from renewable sources. For the base of the material, post-consumer textile waste is transformed into recycled PET yarn in a chemical recycling process. The resource-saving spin dyeing process ("dope dye") is applied even before the interlock fabric is knitted. The savings of this are huge - water consumption is reduced by up to -90%, chemical consumption by up to -80%, energy consumption and CO2e emissions by up to -50%.
