Vaude Takutea: wheeled travel bags made from recycled polyester
Whether for short weekend trips or longer journeys abroad, this series of wheeled travel bags is available as softside luggage in three sizes: 35 litres at 54 cm height, 65 litres at 65 cm height and 90 litres at 77 cm height. The Takutea series is developed by Vaude, a German outdoor and mountain sports manufacturer that brings its expertise from the luggage sector into this softside luggage range. Vaude Takutea comes in colours such as Linen, Black and Silt Brown, so you can find the right version to suit different preferences. Whether you use a single bag or combine several sizes as a set depends entirely on your luggage needs for the trip in question, whether it's a city break, a beach holiday or a business trip.
Features and handling of the Vaude Takutea series
A two-armed, lockable telescopic handle ensures that Vaude Takutea bags can be pulled comfortably, for example on the way through a train station or across an airport terminal. An additional zip pocket on the front gives you quick access to items you want to keep within reach while travelling, without having to open the main compartment. You can also lock the main compartment's two-way zips, giving your luggage extra protection against unauthorised access, for instance during a train journey or right at the baggage carousel. Equipment loops on the outside offer further attachment options, in case the interior isn't enough on a longer trip. Feet on the base of the bag protect the surface when setting it down, while a carry handle helps you lift it into the boot of a car or onto a train's luggage rack. This means Vaude Takutea has you covered for both a spontaneous weekend trip and a longer business trip, without compromising on organisation or theft protection.
Material and certification of the Vaude Takutea series
The outer shell of Vaude Takutea is made from recycled, coated polyester, which makes the bags durable for everyday travel. The fabrics used also carry the Grüner Knopf seal, the German state mark for socially and ecologically responsibly produced textiles, awarded on the basis of 20 company and 26 product criteria. Both the manufacturing conditions in the factories and specific properties of the finished product are checked before a bag receives this distinction. This means the origin of the materials and the production method behind Vaude Takutea can be traced through an independent, state-controlled body, rather than you having to rely on a general marketing claim. The series thus combines a resilient outer material with externally verified manufacturing, which benefits it on longer trips and in everyday use at the baggage carousel.
