FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Our Products
What makes Fjord bags different?
Every Fjord bag is designed through the lens of Nordic minimalism — clean, functional, and made to last. Our focus is on durability, practicality, and timeless design rather than fast-changing trends. Each piece balances sleek form with smart utility for daily life, travel, and adventure.
What materials are your bags made from?
We use recycled, vegan-friendly materials such as GRS-certified RPET fabric (made from post-consumer plastic bottles) and water-resistant PU coatings. Our hardware is metal or reinforced recycled plastic — ensuring strength without animal or virgin materials.
Are your bags waterproof?
All Fjord bags are built from water-resistant materials with sealed seams and coated zippers. While they withstand rain and splashes with ease, they’re not designed for full submersion in water.
What’s the difference between the Rolltop and Hybrid backpacks?
The Rolltop Bag is perfect for commuters and cyclists — expandable, sleek, and easy to access. The Hybrid Backpack bridges everyday carry and weekend travel — with structured organization and generous capacity. Both share Fjord’s signature aesthetic: understated, functional, and sustainably made.
Are your bags suitable for travel?
Absolutely. Every Fjord bag is built with smart compartments for laptops, passports, bottles, and travel essentials. They fit most airline carry-on requirements and are ideal for both urban and outdoor adventures.

Product Care
How do I clean my Fjord bag?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid detergents, bleach, or machine washing. Let it air dry naturally — not in direct sunlight or tumble dryers.
Can I reproof my bag over time?
Yes. To maintain water resistance, you can apply a PFC-free fabric spray after extended use. This helps refresh the coating and prolongs your bag’s lifespan.

What’s your stance on animal products?
All Fjord bags are 100% vegan-friendly. We never use leather, suede, or animal-derived glues — only high-performance recycled textiles.
Do you give back to environmental causes?
Yes — Fjord donates 5% of net profits to marine conservation and reforestation projects. We’re committed to leaving a lighter footprint on the planet we love to explore.
