Located in the heart of El Born, Pinzat specializes in making stylish, handmade bags from recycled materials. The business began fourteen years ago when the graffiti scene in Barcelona inspired four artists to start the project. Now, the team has grown to thirty-five artists who fill the shop’s “gallery” of bags with new items all the time.

Not only are the bags artistic and sustainable, but high-quality and durable as well. They choose only the toughest recycled materials for their ecological backpacks such as canvas, seatbelts, and buckles. They even use waterproof ink on the designs so they can withstand washing or rain without fading.
