On the WORN TO BE ALIVE TOUR, you have the chance to give high-quality ORTOVOX fabric remnants a new lease of life and create your very own unique piece in the process.

You can finish the bag with the logos of your choice. The bag will then be sewn by a professional workshop and sent to your home in around 3–4 weeks.
