Carga (which in spanish means "load" or "to carry") is a line of bags aimed at men who want something that is highly practical yet totally wearable. They're batch-produced and hand-assembled in a small workshop in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mauro Bianucci, Carga founder and designer, has always been interested in using construction principles in unexpected ways. After looking for a unique bag to carry his things around in, the idea of creating something which was assembled rather than sewn, just seemed natural. To Mauro, a good design needs no explanation.
