Questions about the product

Where are BLAUVENT products made?

Our design studio is in Tyrol, not far from Innsbruck. All products are individually handcrafted with great care in the small BLAUVENT production facilities in Spain. For us, the idea of ​​promoting local and individual production makes sense. Most of our suppliers are family owned businesses and come from Alicante and Valencia in Spain, as well as from Catalonia. Designed in Tyrol - Made in Spain

Why is every bag unique?

Because they are made from used paragliders. Each paraglider has its own story, appearance and usage. In addition, each bag in Alicante, Spain, is still cut by hand and given an individual look depending on the color scheme of the wing. That is why every single product will be unique.

Which materials are used in the Blauvent products?

We started by using original paraglider material produced in Europe. But soon we received offers to use used gliders and prototypes, which really gave our sustainable idea of upcycling a boost.

For our T-shirts we use organically grown cotton. The fabric is woven in Spain and the rest of the production chain is in Spain, in the Valencia area.

All wooden items come from ecologically sustainable forestry in the north of Spain, where water is not in short supply. Air-dried and painted with non-toxic paints.
