Kpax Bag: a Mediterranean basket reinterpreted in Barcelona
The Kpax Bag by Peter & Wolf BCN reinterprets the traditional esparto basket through a contemporary, architectural and functional approach. Inspired by the organic forms of Gaudí’s architecture, it combines curved lines with defined edges to create a sculptural, original piece full of personality.
With an approximate capacity of 19 litres, it is a spacious, lightweight and versatile bag, ideal for the beach, shopping, city walks or weekend getaways. It features two long leather handles, a magnetic closure and an exterior leather strap that helps maintain its shape and provides additional support.
The interior is fully lined in black twill and includes one zipped pocket and two open pockets for organising personal belongings. Available in natural, khaki green and navy blue, the Kpax is a new interpretation of the Mediterranean, designed and handcrafted in Barcelona.
Kpax Bag: a new interpretation of the Mediterranean basket
The Kpax Bag by Peter & Wolf BCN revives one of the most representative objects of Mediterranean culture: the traditional esparto basket. For generations, these large woven baskets were used to carry agricultural products, food and everyday objects, eventually becoming a true symbol of Mediterranean summers.
Its spaciousness, durability and lightness made the basket an inseparable companion at markets, coastal villages, beaches and summer getaways. The Kpax model preserves this practical essence while transforming it through a structured, contemporary design with a strong architectural character.
A basket inspired by Gaudí’s architecture
Peter & Wolf BCN starts with the characteristic open silhouette of the traditional basket and gives it a completely renewed form. The handle attachments have been designed to create defined edges that contrast with the smooth curves at each end.
This interplay of curved and angular lines evokes the organic language of Antoni Gaudí’s architecture, where structure, nature and ornament form part of a unified composition.
The result is a visually striking bag with a sculptural shape that stands out without compromising functionality. Its handles, leather details and exterior strap create colour contrasts that enhance the unique character of each combination.
Generous capacity for everyday use
With an approximate capacity of 19 litres, the Kpax Bag provides enough space to carry everything needed for a full day. It can be used as a beach bag, shopping basket, travel bag or spacious everyday accessory.
Its upper opening measures approximately 60 cm in length, while the compact 25 × 15 cm base provides stability and helps the bag retain its shape. Its 30 cm height allows larger items to be carried without making the bag feel heavy or uncomfortable.
Magnetic closure and exterior leather strap
The bag features a practical magnetic closure for easy opening and closing, together with an exterior leather strap that provides additional support and helps keep its contents protected.
The two long leather handles measure 80 cm, allowing the bag to be carried comfortably over the shoulder. Their 1.5 cm width provides an elegant and lightweight grip suitable for both short trips and longer days out.
Fully lined and carefully organised interior
Unlike traditional baskets, the Kpax Bag features a fully lined black twill interior, which protects personal belongings and gives the bag a more refined finish.
Inside, there is a zipped side pocket that is ideal for storing keys, a phone, a wallet or other small items. On the opposite side, a double open pocket keeps accessories organised and easily accessible.
Natural materials and quality details
The exterior is made from esparto grass, a natural material traditionally valued for its lightness, flexibility and durability. The interior lining combines 65% cotton and 35% polyester, while the handles and other details are made from cowhide leather.
This combination of materials reinforces the contrast between tradition and contemporary design that defines the Kpax.
Available in three colours
The Kpax Bag is available in three colour combinations:
- Natural
- Khaki green
- Navy blue
The natural version combines an esparto exterior with caramel-brown handles and logo, an orange closure strap and a black interior.
Each colour combination preserves the Mediterranean essence of the design while offering its own distinctive personality.
Designed and handcrafted in Barcelona
The Kpax Bag has been designed and handcrafted in Barcelona by Peter & Wolf BCN. Each piece is individually made by hand, which means that slight variations in measurements or finishes may occur.
These differences are not defects but part of the character of a handcrafted product, making every bag subtly unique.
