Amazing bag facts

COMPONENTS
0

Can you believe that up to 50 separate components go into the making of your humble Harlequin school bag? The wide selection of materials we use in their fabrication is the reason our bags are so durable! Each component is chosen specifically for its quality and functionality!

WEEKS
0

Before reaching you, each individual Harlequin bag undergoes more than 19 weeks of combined work and logistics during its journey. This involves collating the raw materials, dye preparations, the injection moulding of engineered components, sewing and then finally the hand printing & pressing of each bag!

BOTTLES
0 k

Did you know that Harlequin saves over 300,000 recycled P.E.T. bottles every year that were destined for landfill, but have now found a second life as fabric for a range of school bags? That’s a LOT of bottles. By repurposing these materials, we reduce waste and our environmental footprint.

When you choose Harlequin, you're not just getting a great looking school bag – you're joining a movement towards a more sustainable future.
