Swiss bag maker Freitag has released a handbag priced at $660, crafted from recycled used truck tarps, prompting a Fast Company article weighing whether the design counts as genuine luxury. The discussion centres on whether sustainability-focused, upcycled materials can command high-fashion prices, or whether the tag stretches the brand's utilitarian, eco-friendly identity too far.
Why now: People are debating whether an upcycled product can justify a luxury price point.
