Room01 - H.ELIX bags
When I was 25, I knew I wanted to create something and carve my own path. The idea for the bag, which became the defining product of the brand, came suddenly and in the classic way: we wanted a perfect city backpack for ourselves but couldn't find the right one, so we decided to take action. My mother sewed the first bags from leftover materials using a household machine as old as I am, and we immediately felt we had stumbled upon something special. I sold these bags at markets without a brand name, and from the proceeds, we bought our first professional materials. We made our refined models from these. In the fall of 2015, we posted the first batch on our new Facebook page, and they sold out immediately. In the early days, we had such "drops," and soon we started making custom orders. Today, we keep stock to ease our workflow, supply our resellers, and cater to customers who can't wait for a custom piece or fall in love with one of our classic models.
We now have a professional workshop and collaborate with a sewing factory specialized in workwear and industrial equipment, with whom we have a very good relationship. My mother remains an essential part of the team, involved in design and creating unique pieces.
Many old and new friends have helped in various ways with the work and the brand building, and we thank them for that.
