We are a young lifestyle brand and we are sending our very first urban and sustainable bag collection on the streets in short time. With sky-high ambitions and a solid experience within brand building and scaling of consumer brand companies we are looking to create the most interesting bag brand in the world. Now we are looking for a freelance designer to create our next collection. You will get full responsibility to create our next collection of bags and you will be a part of a great team.
In the job as a designer, you are given responsibility for Kintobe's next collection - that is, everything from design and sourcing to collection planning. Since we do not yet have design skills in-house, we are looking for you who are ready to take responsibility for design and can show us what our next collection (s) will look like.
Responsibilities
- Trend Analysis
- Collection Planning
- Design and development of collections
- Interest drawing of styles for production
- Communicating with and visiting suppliers

Experience in designing bags is of course a huge advantage but not a must.
