The company Refrigue is founded in Portugal in 1972 with the intention to produce garments for workers used to operate in the cold (more precisely in the cold-stores), and so it is not a case that the brand’s complete name is Refrigue Para o Frio (“for the cold”). Over the years the brand received the certification of the Institut Textile de France for extreme temperatures, cold or hot, which finally fixed the brand’s technical character.

Over the years the production has reached notable levels, like also the brand’s success, until reaching to the 90s, when beside of the popular emblem with the polar bear, the company starts to realize garments dedicated not only to extreme cold, but also for everyday. The elevated standard of the clothes and accessories indeed conquered not only workers, but also the lovers of high quality products, realized with care for every small detail.

Simple and concrete, the Refrigue style is concentrated on the will to maintain the deep connection between the ambiance and the clothes and accessories, by producing this aesthetically convincing products, that at the same time show a high functionality of the materials and all other elements.

Progressively the backpack’s equipment thus has been adapted to the necessities of business, by providing padded compartments for computer, fitting dimensions to contain documents and different volumes, but especially the realization of light and at the same time resistant materials, combined to a design in demand.

The Refrigue backpacks exactly summarize, what an accessory of this typology for the contemporary life has to be, by going far in excess of this with innovative and functional solutions. The characteristic which absolutely meets the eye is the zip closure, that can be found on the top of the model and makes part of a strengthened closure similar to those of the doctor bags, allowing in this way to offer the highest capacity on the inside of the model, as also high comfort in the case that someone has to insert documents, tablet pc or laptop on the inside of the backpack.
