The Vakantie Festival continues to expand with travel-related lifestyle brands. The innovative bag brand X-Over has also confirmed its participation in the first edition. The German brand, founded by Mario and Manuela Gottmeijer, represented in the Netherlands and Belgium by Ruud and Siska Klaver, is known for its smart crossover carrying technique and comfortable, stylish travel bags.
Ruud Klaver, owner of X-Over Netherlands and Belgium: “Our bags are designed for people on the go, whether it’s on a city trip, a long road trip or just cycling to work. At the Vakantie Festival we meet exactly that traveler. Now is the time for us to share our mission: to make travel more comfortable, safer and more stylish.”
X-Over focuses on travelers who want to pack practically without compromising on comfort or design. The bags are designed to be worn diagonally across the body, making them ergonomic, well secured and suitable for active use.
T.J. van Apeldoorn, co-founder of the Vakantie Festival, sees X-Over as a valuable addition: “With X-Over we show once again that the Vakantie Festival is not a traditional fair, but a travel lifestyle event. We connect travelers with brands that enrich their travel experience; from destinations to smart travel solutions. X-Over is exactly such a brand that combines practicality with design and innovation.”
Co-founder Frits Kuijper is also enthusiastic about the collaboration: “X-Over is a great example of a German brand that responds to the needs of modern travelers with passion and smart designs. We are proud that they are there.”
The Vakantie Festival will take place in the spring of 2026 in the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Visitors can go there for travel inspiration, advice, experience and travel lifestyle products. Curious about the participation options? Then click here.
