1993 Freitag started
1996 the first Freitag bags were officially exported and sold in Japan
2001 Lars Mueller released the F-Book in English
Now we are very pleased to announce that in 2008 the Japanese release of the Freitag Book has been completed and is finally published!

Due to increasing environment problems, the Freitag bags gained attention as "eco" bags or "recyling" bags. But Freitag cannot just be bunched in a few fashionable keywords- Freitag is special!
>From the complementation of the first bags 15 years ago until now the message is:
" We are spreading out!" and this is what the book is about. The certain Freitag appeal is shown -unfold! The entire Freitag world is shown, but in fact only a fraction of it...
