YULEX®
YULEX® is a natural rubber alternative to synthetic neoprene used in wetsuits. It replaces the synthetic neoprene we have used in the past. YULEX® has the same qualities as its predecessor: it is soft, thick, and reliable, providing many years of protection. 

All Yulex® rubber plantations are 100% FSC® certified. This means that these plantations prevent deforestation, do not abuse agricultural pesticides and that the working conditions meet standards. It also means that the Hevea rubber (the main ingredient of Yulex®) is only extracted from plantations that guarantee ecological integrity and biodiversity.

The best way to remove stains is to treat the stain by hand. We recommend Schoonmaakzeep by Werfzeep, which you can rub directly onto the stain and remove with a damp cloth.

This product can also be machine washed at 30 degrees, preferably using a short program. Reserve machine washing for when necessary and avoid extended soaking. Bags with buckles and metal clasps must be placed in a washing bag or pillowcase to prevent damage to the machine or other items in the load.

Use a washing bag or a Guppyfriend to preserve the material's quality and prevent synthetic fibres from breaking off and entering the wastewater.

Over time, waterproof coatings can wear off, especially with regular washing. To maintain its performance, we recommend re-proofing your bag when water no longer beads on the surface and begins soaking into the fabric. Use only fluorine-free sprays or washing solutions for re-proofing.

The Flash has been a defining element of our designs since the very beginning. First featured in the prototype of The New Shopping Bag, this upward stripe embodies optimism and momentum. Its clean contrast in colour has become our unmistakable signature. 

In 2025, we proudly celebrate 25 years of SUSAN BIJL and the Flash!
