The VINGA Sortino cooler backpack takes a taller build, 46 cm high on a 30.5 x 15 cm base, which gives it a single deep insulated compartment rather than a shallow one. That shape suits upright bottles and stacked containers, so a lunch for two or a set of chilled drinks travels without being laid on its side.

The material is the point of difference as much as the format: it is made from 50 percent recycled PET bottles, a construction that gives the fabric a modern matte texture and keeps the design current without relying on visible eco branding. Multiple smaller pockets run along the sides for the items you reach for first, leaving the insulated section undisturbed. It is offered in black, blue and grey, and the plain panels take decoration cleanly.

Where the shorter trail version leans outdoors, this one is at home in commuting and city use: office lunch programmes, wellness and healthy-eating campaigns, summer staff gifts and catering or grocery client gifting. Event organisers also use it for hospitality staff who carry supplies through a venue.

Branding goes on by screen print or embroidery, usually centred on the front panel where the recycled fabric gives a clean, even surface. MerchRepublic can run mixed colours within a single order, share a visual proof for approval before production, and deliver completed bulk quantities to one or several EU addresses.
