FAQs

What is the main advantage of this bag?

The main advantage is its combination of functionality, including multiple pockets for organization, and its construction from sustainable, recycled materials with a water-repellent finish.

Is the bag suitable for carrying heavy items?

While durable, the drawstring closure is best suited for moderate loads. For extremely heavy items, a bag with a more secure closure like a zipper or buckle might be preferable.

How much of the bag is made from recycled materials?

The main fabric is 100% recycled PET, the mesh is 65% recycled polyester, and the lining is 50% recycled polyester. The fabric also contains 56% Reused Polyamide.

Can I wash the bag in a washing machine?

It is recommended to wipe the bag clean with a damp cloth. Machine washing is not advised as it can damage the fabric and its water-repellent properties.

What does the 'Supertaboo' name refer to?

The name 'Supertaboo' likely refers to the bag's versatile and unrestricted use, allowing users to carry various items without reservation.

Does the bag have a specific compartment for a laptop?

No, the Supertaboo bag does not have a dedicated laptop compartment. It is designed for general everyday items.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring straps are tangled or stuck.

Gently pull the straps apart and smooth them out. If a knot forms, carefully try to untangle it by hand or with a blunt tool.

Water-repellent finish seems less effective.

The water-repellent treatment can wear off over time. Consider applying a fabric-specific water-repellent spray, following the product's instructions.

Zipper on the front pocket is stiff.

Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Bag appears misshapen when empty.

This is normal for soft drawstring bags. The bag will take shape better when items are placed inside.
