About the company
Hinza is run by us, Karin och Tobias Bachstätter, and we love functional design! It's a privilege for us to be able to work with these bags with which we have historical links and which we use and enjoy every single day.
When weekdays and weekends are filled with different activities for everyone in the family, it’s great to have Hinza bags at the ready. They’re perfect for carrying everything we need, whether we’re going to swim practice, a business meeting, a party or an outing. And of course, we always bring a stack of Hinza bags to the supermarket.
The original Hinza bag was made in the 1950s by Perstorp AB, a company founded by Karin's great-grandfather.
Karin grew up with the bags and has always used them every day. When the family needed more of the bags, she and her parents thought about starting up production again. In 2006 they started the company that was given the name Hinza, after Perstorp AB's former director's villa, Hinza Lycka. The house is now Hinza's office.
The Hinza bags have become a huge success and are sold in design shops and housewares stores in more than 20 countries.
Environment & production
Hinza bags are manufactured in Hillerstorp in Sweden, with much consideration being paid to quality, environment and working conditions. The factory is certified in accordance with ISO-9001 and ISO-14001 with regard to environmental and quality management.
All Hinza bags are durable and made of plastics that can be recycled. The Biobased Plastic version of the Hinza bag is made from a blend of plastics with 67% of the plastic being sourced from sugarcane. The biobased carbon content is verified by ASTM D6866-24.
The covers for Hinza bags are made in Poland. Inner bags and cooler bags are made in China in a factory that is continuously visited and checked by authorised international auditors and that complies with Amfori, which is the foremost system for Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI).
