Young entrepreneurs from Hamburg produce reflective rucksacks and bags

 

Jacob Leffers and Emil Woermann from Hamburg belong to a new, young generation of entrepreneurs in Germany. They are 20 and 19 years old and are on the road to success with a great idea. They have developed backpacks that glow in the dark - because they found safety vests somehow uncool.

 

They seem to have hit a nerve because the backpacks are almost torn out of their hands. They have now rented a factory floor in Eimsbüttel. They collected the money for their start-up "OAK25" via the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. Production takes place in China.
