In 1993, graphic designers Markus and Daniel Freitag were looking for a functional, water-repellent and robust bag to hold their creative work. Inspired by the multicolored heavy traffic that rumbled through the Zurich transit intersection in front of their flat, they developed a messenger bag from used truck tarpaulins, discarded bicycle inner tubes and car seat belts. This is how the first FREITAG bags took shape in the living room of their shared apartment – each one recycled, each one unique.

Famous for its lively nightlife, Geroldstrasse is also a street with several concept stores, design shops such as Bogen 33 and artist studios. Whether the rockabilly-style vintage dresses of Schiff Ahoi, Le Tom 's accessories made of straw, or the timeless fashion selection of Townhouse – Geroldstrasse has a very wide variety to choose from. Right next door to the Friday Flagship Store, which is made of 19 recycled freight containers, is the very cozy Frau Gerolds Garten. The area is a modular city garden with small shops, fresh menus and a generous sun-drenched terrace.
