FROM TRAVELERS FOR TRAVELERS
Julia, the founder of TRAVEL DUDE is a passionate traveler herself. Therefore she is eager to create new products every traveler needs. She designs and tests everything herself to make our products perfect for your next journey.
MADE OF RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES
Packing Cubes are usually made of nylon or polyester (PET) based fabrics. Mostly these yarns are made from virgin material: oil
As we want to counteract this trend, we have our travel organizers made from recycled plastic bottles, especially for the nylon fabric. For this, used plastic bottles are collected, crushed, cleaned, melted, formed into pallets, spun into yarn and then woven into fabrics. This saves a lot of energy (and CO2) compared to fabrics made from virgin material as well as reducing plastic waste.
GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD
All fabric used for production meet the international requirements of the “Global Recycled Standard” (GRS). This ensures the purity of the recycled materials and a sustainable, social and environmentally friendly value chain.
WHY TRAVEL DUDE?
WE ARE TRAVELERS

WE NEVER STAY STILL
We use and test all of the products ourselves and always work on improvements.
OUR CONCEPT
We omit any superfluous knickknacks. Every product was thoughtfully created and every feature has its function.
FAQ’s
Yes they are odorproof!
No, the material is water-resistant, but the seams are not waterproof.
No, we recommend washing the shoe bags by hand.
Unfortunately, we currently do not offer individual packing cubes, and this is because of a number of reasons:
- We think about, plan, and decide according to how we can best help travelers and backpackers. With this, we found that sets of 4 and 7 are the ideal sizes to help you best organize your things. A packing cube each for your shirts, trousers, and underwear; a laundry bag which doubles as a day bag; plus, even a waterproof compartment to enable you to store wet belongings safely.
- As a small start-up, offering sets are also more financially feasible for us. At Travel Dude, we highly value functionality, quality, sustainability and fair working conditions, all the while making sure our products don’t break the bank — yours, as well as ours.
- If we start offering individual packing cubes right now, we would have to increase the price of each cube so we can account for production and logistics.
- We would also need to invest more financially, which we currently and unfortunately cannot do.
- An alternative to keep selling at a low price would be to stop using high-quality recycled materials (like many big corporations), but that is something that no longer mirrors our values.
Now, you may wonder why we can’t just re-pack the sets we already have to create a custom set for you. Here’s why:
- Our packing cubes are already packed in our production hall in sets of 4 and 7. They are then shipped to our warehouse where your orders get fulfilled from. Re-packing them would mean: (1) additional service to do so would be required; (2) waste could be generated from tearing original packaging; and (3) there would be unsold leftover packing cubes.
In an ideal world, we would, of course, love to sell our packing cubes individually and in various set sizes and colors. But at the moment, we highly take into account what’s best for us as a small company, what’s best for our customers and most especially, what’s best for the environment.
A shoe bag weighs approximately 25g.
1 – 2 pairs of shoes depending on their size fit in a shoe bag.
Yes they are water-repellent!
The dimensions are 40 x 22 x 10cm
The shoe bags were made of very light water-repellent nylon ripstop to make them lightweight.
We could easily pack shoe sizes of 48 or 2 pairs of size 36.
We manufacture our products in China for a few reasons:
- China contributes to the highest share of mismanaged plastic (the plastic that ends up in rivers and oceans) at around 28% of the total globally, so we seek to do something about this.After doing our research, we have learned that there are 10 major rivers worldwide that are responsible for about 80% of the plastic in our oceans—8 of these rivers are in Asia, where 4 are in China alone.
Although we love the idea to have everything in Europe—from the recycling process to the production and delivery of our packing cubes—we saw a great need to do something, starting in countries where deposit systems are not as advanced as, for example, in Germany.
- Despite being the main contributors of plastic waste, China also undeniably has the technology to turn plastic waste into high-quality recycled materials that we now use for our packing cubes.Since we source our recycled plastic waste from there, we just then saw it fit to also manufacture there. This then allows us to offer our packing cubes at an affordable price while ensuring their premium quality.
