AGS, which stands for Anti Gravity System, is a line of business backpacks, currently being launched by Tucano. The shoulder straps are equipped with an elastic suspension system, designed to convey the sensation that you are carrying less weight on your shoulders. Inspired by the ancient Chinese Bian Dan, a method for carrying two heavy containers on a bamboo pole, the AGS system takes advantage of the elastic movement of the shoulder straps, to lessen the stiffness of the cervical and dorsal muscles and buffer the pressure of the backpack’s load through balanced weight distribution between the shoulders and the pelvis.
The flexible movement of the shoulder straps is also supported at the ends, made of elasticized webbing, so that the natural sensation of the lightened load isn’t interrupted. The integrated suspension system of the AGS backpacks slows down muscle fatigue, improves stability, and optimizes posture. Of course, the feeling of lightness and relief is felt most intensely when the backpack has a considerable load, which also intensifies the elastic movement of the shoulder straps.
The new AGS backpacks, called Sole Gravity, Marte Gravity, Luna Gravity and Terra Gravity, have developed into an interesting collection centered around the appealing interplay of features and accessories: the ergonomic and breathable back, the pull-out rain cover to protect your backpack, exceptionally well-organized pockets – including those for holding laptops and tablets, top-quality zippers and high-density fabric.Our new Anti Gravity System backpacks are available through the Tucano website and all authorized retailers.
Metropolitan rhythm, technology and wellbeing are the distinctive elements of the Urban Collection line, designed by Tucano and Garmin and promoted by Carrefour. The new sticker collection program will run from January to April 2020. Shoppers will receive 1 sticker for every 10 euros spent in all Carrefour Expressstores. The catalog includes a selection of items sure to please modern consumers of any age who are accustomed to enjoying a dynamic urban lifestyle and travel as well as those who are constantly connected and attentive to their personal wellbeing.
Tucano’s offer once again confirms the company’s ability to create high-tech, crossover products that are up to date and suitable for a sporty, curious public that cares about sustainability. The collection includes a bag, two different backpacks, a water bottle, a speaker, a rechargeable battery, and a range of high-tech accessories (almost all wearable), such as a Bluetooth headset and earphones, designed not only for travel and leisure but also for certain moments in everyday life. The colors used in this collection are black and orange, designed to express a clear aesthetic.
Garmin, a leading automotive GPS technology company, has created an activity tracker and a Smart index scale for the promotion.
Once again this year, Tucano is the official supplier for the Venice International Film Festival, not only the most important film festival in Italy but also one of the world’s most iconic cinema events, to be held at the Lido di Venezia from the 28th of August through the 7th of September. A durable and lasting partnership between Venice’s Cinema Biennale and Tucano has been established over the course of the last fifteen years, thanks to the now historic shopper for the Industry Office, created ad hoc for the festival and, for this occasion, offered in four different colors: blue, fuchsia, green, and black. But, the newest product for the 76th edition is Tucano’s latest black neoprene shopper, designed to hold and transport the Leone d’Oro (Golden Lion award). This bag from Tucano’s O.D.D.S collection—the acronym stands for Our Dreams Deserve Space—will be used as a protective cover for the coveted international award. A name capable of embodying a vision, perhaps even a premonition: dreams and cinema, desires and representation.
In addition to supporting Tucano’s passion for the big screen, the company’s partnership with the Cinema Biennale expresses the connection between iconic stature and the beauty of a unique location. This year’s edition will once again be directed by Alberto Barbera and the actress Alessandra Mastronardi will emcee the opening and closing ceremonies. Lucrecia Martel, surely the most important Latin American director in recent years, an interesting and counter-trend artist—also when it comes to the relatively small number of works made available to the public—will preside over the jury. This year, Golden Lions for Lifetime Achievement will be awarded to the Spanish director Pedro Almodovar and British actress Julie Andrews.

We all dream of a sustainable world, a clean world full of products that are eco-friendly, smart, and colorful. Products that fight the pollution and indifference that plague us. A world that would protect the planet, work against toxic and plastic waste and in favor of a circular economy.
Tucano hasn’t just dreamt of such a world, they’ve created a reality that has made rapid strides down the road towards sustainability, thanks to recycling and the transformation of waste plastic into bags and backpacks and the creation of covers and other products that are totally biodegradable. These products can be reabsorbed into the environment, notably reducing the impact of packaging and shipping materials.
Many products from our 2019 collection have been presented in this new format. Some of them are iconic favorites, like the Ecocompact, Lato, and Forte backpacks, manufactured from fabrics made out of PET plastic from recycled bottles. These bottles have been collected and removed from the environment and given a new use through an interesting process. Other products that showcase unique and innovative design are the Salvo and Ampio backpacks. Both short and long term, Tucano’s production is rapidly transforming to meet our clear and concrete sustainability goals. Naturally, we’re manufacturing in a responsible way without losing sight of the core focus of our products, especially protection and functionality.
Milan, June 20-23. Tucano participates again this year as a sponsor in the fourth edition of the well-known Milanese film festival that in the number 2019 turns into Fuoricinema-Fuoriserie, enriching its schedule with new content to talk about, television series and their importance audio-narrative. Another novelty concerns the period and the location, no longer September but June and no longer external sites but the magical world of cinema Anteo, the temple of Milanese cinema, together with the Cloister of Santa Maria Incoronata and Via Milazzo, in the historic center, where personalities from the world of cinema and entertainment will dialogue with the public and journalists, around the magic word that offers the theme of this event, love. A term rich in meaning that can produce emotions and dreams, translated into stories and experiences of life but especially in reality. Tucano, as usual, participates with its products, selected with “love” for the 180 VIPs of the event, the Mister, a backpack for travel, sports and leisure, in bright colors and high-performance materials, and the bag in bag Mia, an organizer for luggage and bag, convenient on all occasions. The event, which began yesterday, will run until 23 June and will be led by Angela Finocchiaro, who will welcome the illustrious guests.
The consolidated partnership between Tucano and the young entrepreneurs of Confindustria, is renewed in 2019 through the creation of the official bag of the conference, the sleeve Minilux, a slim bag in nylon and bright colors, intended for all participants of the meeting.
This year’s sponsorship, in addition to once again signing the tried and tested and significant dialogue between our company and Confindustria Giovani, already active for many years, highlights our interest in the particularity and prestige of an event in which the business world is confronted with the political one and whose theme this year is the economy of connections.
But what does “Globali: Economia delle connessioni”, the title of the 49th Conference of Young Entrepreneurs of Confindustria, to be held in Rapallo on 7 and 8 June, mean? It means reflecting on the potential of the “connection economy”, infinite, exponential and able to enhance our skills, our resources and our ideas, especially those concepts and visions that take value through contact and comparison.
Connecting to build a new destiny, connecting to give new meanings to things, connecting to feel closer if the proximity is only virtual. These are just some of the evaluations at the base of the interventions foreseen during the political-entrepreneurial karmesse of Rapallo. An excerpt from the introductory text on the event, literally reports these words, emblematic to clearly interpret the theme of this forty-ninth edition: “We are the world of connections.
The place where everyone can change their destiny by reconnecting with the rest of the world where we cannot improve what we are not connected to.
