Cooperation Project
For more than three years of unity and cooperation we came across challenges that defied many circumstances, however that makes us stronger and keeps us going! In this world we are all different in many ways, nevertheless that forms working together and reflecting ways. Attitudes of gratitude play a pivotal role.
Last year was marked by two common trips in South Africa and a charity photo exhibition took place in Austria.
This year these SOAPBAGS will make financial survival possible.
Soapbags
Our Soapbag is ideal for transporting solid shampoo and especially soaps.
Whether you are traveling, after sports, or on business – your environmentally friendly cleaning products are always with you! You can transport them safely in wet condition, soap and solid shampoo dry fast and well.
Your Soapbag
- consists of African wax prints, organic cotton, waxed oilskin fabrics, and washable paper
- can be washed
- is handmade in Austria
Actually, the purchase and the entire production was planned to take place in Southern Africa. If the travel situation allows it again, we will continue to work on this goal!
Our Towelbags
Our new towelbags are the perfect complement to travel packaging-reduced and plastic-free. The 21x21cm bags have enough space to store a microfiber towel (100×60 cm or larger) plus soap. Everything is immediately at hand and clearly arranged – whether in a backpack or suitcase, a workout bag, or a larger handbag. Available in new patterns and colors, but also finely combinable with many of designs of the soapbags.
For more than five years, we have been united by a cooperation that has always presented us with challenges and had to defy many circumstances, but it exists and it keeps us going. We both live in this world, many things make us different, but nothing stops us from working together and showing ways how people can complement each other when understanding, trust and reliability are the foundations.
The development of the soapbags is based on my travel experiences I had with soaps. There were wonderful ones everywhere, but nowhere did I discover a durable, ecological, and chic way to transport these soaps. So I designed the bags as a guest gift for Sojila’s Scenic Safari Tours. Unfortunately, the pandemic interrupted many ideas and possibilities. But the concept could not be stopped – the number of soapbags sold is steadily increasing, making the shared story behind it very special.
The year 2022 was marked by another joint trip through South Africa to visit artists from the field of photography in Cape Town and Johannesburg, to get to know them better and to see their working methods. The programme also included first contacts with “Re-use/Re-cycle” opportunities, fabric shopping and talks with seamstresses.
Please continue to buy, support and give them as a present!
