Well done, Kübra Tekindağ Bahar! 👏 Supported by Alter Start, Kübra keeps growing Moodbag, and we are proud to share her announcement ♻️

“I am happy to announce that Moodbag will be at the RE&UP Geneva fair on 7 and 8 November 2026, at Palexpo.

Through Moodbag, I give denim a second life by creating handmade bags and accessories, made in Lausanne, with details in plant-based leather made from olive-tree waste.

Behind every piece there is one wish: to turn existing materials into unique, durable creations full of personality.

Being an entrepreneur in craftsmanship means learning every day, taking on new challenges and growing a project that is close to my heart.

I am delighted to share my world at this event dedicated to more responsible consumption.”
