A backpack with a story behind every stitch
The Recycled Travel Backpack Dana is made from upcycled jute and burlap rice bags, so no two backpacks look quite the same. Small imperfections in the fabric are part of the design, not a flaw. This one is a good pick if you want a travel bag with real character, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who cares where their things come from.
- 🌾 One-of-a-kind burlap fabric: Made from recycled Indian rice bags, so the color scheme stays consistent but the pattern and texture vary from bag to bag.
- 🤝 Fair trade production: Sewn by artisans who receive fair wages and work in safe conditions, with no child labor involved anywhere in the process.
- ♻️ Biodegradable and sustainable materials: Upcycled jute keeps used rice bags out of landfills and gives them a new purpose.
- 🍚 Built-in giving: Every bag purchased provides 2.2 lb (1kg) of rice to a family in need, and bulk donations of 25 bags supply about a month of rice for a family.
Why you'll love it
- 🎒 Carry a travel backpack that's genuinely one-of-a-kind, so you're never worried about someone else showing up with the same bag.
- 💛 Feel good knowing your purchase feeds a family in need and supports fair wages for the artisans who made it.
- 🌍 Reduce textile waste by choosing a bag made from upcycled materials instead of new production.
- 🎁 Give a gift with meaning attached — the recipient gets a unique bag, and a family gets rice on the table.
Because each bag is made from recycled materials, expect the same overall color scheme but variation in design and pattern from the photos shown.
