Recycled Travel Backpack Mumbai - Upcycled Rice Bag, Fair Trade
- Price
- $65
The Recycled Travel Backpack Mumbai is a one-of-a-kind bag made from upcycled Indian rice sacks, built for everyday travel and everyday giving. Each burlap panel once carried rice to a family in need, so the weathered look and small imperfections are part of its story, not a flaw. Every bag you carry provides real food to a family and supports fair wages for the seamstress who made it. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who cares where their belongings come from.
- 🌾 Recycled Burlap Construction: Made from genuine upcycled jute/burlap rice bags, each with its own pattern and wear.
- 🎒 One-of-a-Kind Design: Same color scheme across bags, but no two are exactly alike in texture or pattern placement.
- 🌍 Biodegradable Materials: Sustainable fabric that keeps usable materials out of landfills.
- 🤝 Fair Trade Made: Produced under fair wages and safe working conditions, with no child labor involved.
Benefits
- 🍚 You Help Feed a Family: Every bag provides 2.2 lb (1kg) of rice, enough to feed a family of four for a day. Buying this bag means giving directly, not just donating a percentage.
- 🌱 You Choose Sustainable Travel: Carry a bag made from repurposed materials instead of new-made synthetic fabric.
- 💛 You Support Ethical Work: Your purchase funds quality jobs for the artisans who cut and sew every bag by hand.

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.
