ABOUT THE MAKER

Rob Moss established his company, FreeHeel Design, in 2010. FreeHeel Design is a bag / backpack design and soft product development consultancy. FreeHeel Design focuses on design detail, process and high sustainable quality. Following his passion for mountain sports, Rob worked for Lowe Alpine (UK) Ltd as an apparel designer before moving to Mammut Sports Group AG where he was a pack designer for Mammut and sleeping bag designer for Ajungilak, one of the oldest sleeping bag brands. From there he moved on to become Design Director for the largest luggage manufacturer in the world: SAMSONITE with ‘OUTLAB’.

PROCESS

Rob Moss was able to blend many of his passions to create a new range of products made from super strong and durable Hypalon. Each of Robs wallets, card sleeves and lanyards are made from Hypalon which was destined for the marine industry. Hypalon is a polyethylene synthetic rubber, which is resistant to chemicals, temperature extremes, and ultraviolet light. As a bonus it's also easy to clean! Each product is also hand stitched with polyester thread in Cornwall.
