However, we have managed to arouse the interest of almost 8,000 people, thus validating our process of innovation and product development.
The campaign has already ended on Kickstarter, now you can find Shell, on Indiegogo, a platform where we will be approximately 30 days before making the leap to our website. We cannot give more information yet, but we are working on several new products simultaneously that I am sure will become a must have/pack for all travelers.”
As the company explains, Shell was designed on the opinions and needs of one travelers community collaborator. Thanks to this community, a backpack could be designed to cover the shortcomings found in this type of product.
It has a vertical side cut that allows you to vary its size, which makes it even more comfortable. In addition, its measurements are compatible with the dimensions of the aircraft handbag. It has a maximum capacity of 36 litres.
Among the values of the brand stands out sustainability and respect for the environment. Therefore, it is interesting to note that Shell backpacks are made using 60% recycled nylon, with an average reuse of 30 plastic bottles per backpack.
As Alberto Espinós explains, «The need to have versatile products and try to contribute through a brand to change the way people travel, was what motivated the founding of Tropicfeel. We help people build a positive relationship with their environment. We believe that sustainability is a responsibility and not an opportunity, which is why we use sustainable materials that improve vital environmental problems.”
