Eco-friendly K2 'Dokdo Baek' Edition with Added Antibacterial Function

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Outdoor brand K2 has launched five types of eco-friendly ‘Dokdo Bags’ featuring excellent antibacterial functions.

The K2 Dokdo Bag Edition is introduced as part of the ‘Love Korea Edition’ and consists of various styles suitable for everyday use and travel, including backpacks, sling bags, and cross bags.

Using lightweight, high-density Robic Air fabric, the bags are light and highly durable. The lining, straps, and buckles incorporate recycled materials extracted from discarded PET bottles and abandoned fishing nets, embodying eco-friendly values.

In particular, the antibacterial processing on the bag lining enhances antibacterial functions by protecting against external bacteria and inhibiting bacterial growth.

Additionally, the bags feature pockets of various sizes for ample storage space and practicality. Design points include the numbers representing Dokdo Day ‘1025’, the English typography ‘DOKDO’, and the coordinates of Dokdo.

The Dokdo Backpack is a casual-style backpack with an air mesh back panel for comfort and excellent breathability. It boasts high usability with three front outer pockets and side mesh pockets for organized storage. Webbing for attaching to a carrier and 3M string points allow for easy hanging or tightening of items such as water bottles or umbrellas.

The Dokdo Sling Bag is available in mini, basic, and volume sizes, making it convenient for everyday life or light travel. It features various types of pockets, including mesh diagonal zipper pockets and hidden zippers, facilitating easy carrying of belongings.

The Dokdo Cross Bag is a casual cross bag ideal for light outings. Although small, it offers ample storage space for organized separation and includes a front mesh pocket suitable for storing water bottles and other items.

All five colors of the Dokdo Bag Edition are released in black, with prices ranging from 55,000 KRW to 129,000 KRW.

Meanwhile, since 2019, K2 has been presenting the ‘Love Korea Edition’ to express patriotism, releasing various products inspired by our land and domestic wildlife, such as the ‘3.1 Jacket’, ‘Dokdo T-shirt’, and ‘Baekdudaegan Series’.

Lee Jegil, head of K2’s product planning team, stated, “The Dokdo Bag Edition not only considers hygiene with antibacterial lining materials but also embodies eco-friendly values by utilizing recycled materials. In particular, its lightweight design and excellent storage capacity add practicality, making it suitable for everyday use as well as light outings and travel.”
