Light as a Feather, Strong as a Parachute: Discover the ORIGINAL Zerobag.

The original Zerobag was launched in 2009. Made in New Zealand from upcycled parachutes, these reusable bags are incredibly strong and lightweight, compacting to about the size of a small mobile phone.

Creator Aaron Jones, an architectural designer by trade, came up with the idea while living in London in 2008. Appalled by the city's ever-increasing plastic pollution, he set about finding the perfect lightweight, long-life, quality reusable bag that could fit in his pocket.

Frustrated by the products, he began designing the perfect bag. A chance conversation with a friend in France about skydiving and the reusable bag designs he was working on led to the idea of sourcing out-of-service parachutes to fashion upcycled bags.

“WHAT ARE ZEROBAGS MADE OUT OF?”
— The original Zerobag is made out of upcycled parachutes. Zerobag 2.0 is constructed with certified 100% rPET fabric made from recycled plastic bottles.
“HOW MUCH CAN THEY HOLD?”
— Basically your arm strength will determine this! They hold approximately 16.5L volume. We had them load tested and they ran out space in the bag at 46.9 KGs. They're even stronger than we thought.
“ANY OTHER COOL FEATURES?”
— Heaps! They've been designed in NZ with the shopper in mind. The handle length has been designed to fit and hang effectively on checkout bag racks for high efficiency. There's no extra pouches or domes. The clever little bag folds into itself and is the size of a mobile phone. Perfect for throwing in to a pocket.
“HOW ARE THEY SO STRONG?”
— Extremely high quality construction with military grade high strength polyester thread on all seams and no bottom seam for added strength.
