Each year several thousand wild boars are hunted in Switzerland. Unfortunately, only the meat of these animals is used. All other parts are disposed of. The aim of the project „Sanglier“ is to also make use of the precious hide. The simple design focuses on the unique optic of the leather, marked by life in the wilderness. To allow an efficient manufacturing process the bag has only one seam. „Sanglier“ can be used as a tote bag or as a backpack. Sanglier – a piece of Switzerland’s wilderness.
