Where are Brandit bags made?

[Carsten Hoberg]

Hi,
I have trouble in finding out where bags of the German make Brandit are made because every site says something different:

1) NGOs: Made in different countries from Chinese cotton, no child labour involved (based on 2013 information)
2) some Sellers: All made from synthetic fiber (so no Chinese Cotton)
3) other sellers: Purchased from US Army and German Army (this would mean made in USA or Germany)

Brandit Bags do have a military look and the price range is like the one of used army stuff, but you could also sell a Chinese
copy of army bags at this price. Unfortunately, the only remaining army shops are online, so I can't just have a look at the product.

I would avoid this brand. Really everything I can find of this brand comes from China.
The labels I find on the internet of various types of boots, jackets and shirts, all mention made in China.
I have not found any lables of bags, but well, chances are very high that they too come from China.

Thank you. I Guess if even the boots are Made in China, shouldn't trust the bags.

Here's some confirmation on their site.

I suppose they deserve some props for honesty and transparency, but how odious is it that a company selling military-style equipment to be sold to citizens of the US and the EU is directly funding the military that their children may one day have to face?
