Mini Recycled Travel Backpack Ravi - Upcycled Rice Bag
- Price
- $55
The Mini Recycled Travel Backpack Ravi is a one-of-a-kind bag made from upcycled Indian rice bags. Each piece of burlap carries its own history, so no two backpacks look exactly alike. It's a thoughtful pick for anyone who cares where their things come from, and it makes a genuinely meaningful gift for travelers, students, or the eco-conscious person on your list.
- 🌾 Recycled Burlap Construction: Made from real, authentic Indian rice bags, upcycled into a sturdy travel-ready backpack.
- 🎨 One-of-a-Kind Design: Same color scheme, but every bag has slight variations in pattern and texture — expect small imperfections that make it yours alone.
- 🤝 Fair Trade Made: Sewn by seamstresses paid fair wages in safe working conditions, with no child labor involved.
- 🍚 Rice Donation Built In: Each bag provides 2.2 lb (1kg) of rice to a family in need — enough to help feed a family of four for a day.
Why You'll Love It
- 🎒 Carry a Story: Between the fabric, the seamstress, and the family who received the rice, this bag connects you to real people and real impact.
- ♻️ Feel Good About Your Choice: Biodegradable, sustainable materials mean your purchase keeps waste out of landfills instead of adding to it.
- 💛 Give With Purpose: A gift that feeds families — Rice Love donates in bulk, so 25 bags sold means 25kg of rice, feeding families for about a month.
- ✈️ Ready for Everyday Adventures: A mini travel backpack size that's easy to bring along, whether you're headed to class, the airport, or a weekend trip.
Please note: because each bag is made from recycled rice sacks, you'll see natural variation in pattern and texture from bag to bag, though the color scheme stays consistent.
Choose the Mini Recycled Travel Backpack Ravi today and carry a piece of its story with you — while helping feed a family in need.

About Rice Love
Rice Love was born in 2015 from a simple idea: combat global hunger while creating beautiful, sustainable products. The brand designs tote bags and backpacks from upcycled rice sacks sourced in India, where rice symbolizes shared love and connection.
For every item sold, Rice Love donates one kilo of rice to a family in India facing temporary hardship like job loss or illness. What sets them apart is radical transparency—each bag comes with a unique tag number linking directly to the photo and story of the family you've helped feed. Since launching, they've distributed over 88,000 kilos of rice, impacting more than 1.1 million meals. Inspired by global wanderers, idealists, and activists, Rice Love invites customers to join a movement for both people and planet.
