Refresh your off duty wardrobe with one of our cool and cute customised Gertie Backpacks. Hands-free has never been chicer.
Handcrafted in a selection of our favourite fabrics, our rucksacks are bolstered with a leather base, handle and trim, a luxurious yet practical choice you'll use again and again.
The recycled wool which makes up this backpack is ‘Cardato Recycled’, which means it's made with a minimum of 65% recycled clothing, knits and off-cuts from the textile industry.
The fabric starts it's new life in a small town in Italy, called Prato, where there is a team dedicated to reusing materials; Donated clothes are hand-separated by colour, washed and pulled apart to create new yarn for future fabrics. The method of separating the colours by hand also means that the process of dying the fabrics is completely unnecessary.
This recycled Wool saves not only unwanted clothes from landfill but water, carbon dioxide and energy for a greener approach to fabric.
Our bags and accessories are all handmade in England and personalised for you by embossing in store with your name or initials, courtesy of our complimentary embossing service.
