Upcycling backpack

Do you remember when you were at school? Every time we went back to school, we'd hope for a new bag or customise the old one. Pennants, illustrations, plush key rings... Our backpacks had it all!

Today, we may not be going back to school, but our love for the backpack is undying.
In fact, it's become a must-have accessory in recent seasons and it's high time we paid tribute to it. For all these years of loyal service, we've decided to reinvent it.

When upcycling and minimalism are a perfect match

With some pretty cotton and a few pieces of string, you'll easily manage to make a small, lightweight, minimalist backpack.

A super-cool replacement for your handbag, you'll be able to use it on your weekend outings.

You could even imagine this type of design in denim. What do you say, have you ever thought of making a nice backpack from your old jeans?

A fully responsible recycled backpack

In a similar vein, make yourself a backpack from natural materials.

With linen and rope, for example, you'll get a strong, durable bag.

The shape is up to you, but we like the spirit of the
courier bag, which is very trendy at the moment and mixed.
