Bekos Upcycling - Courier backpack made from recycled fish food bags bright green

Upcycling - turning old into new

This cool courier backpack or roll top is the perfect everyday backpack. It is very functional and a real space-saver! Thanks to the large opening, even larger items can be stowed away. There will never be too little space in the future; simply adjust the roll top closure to the filling quantity and fix it with the robust buckle. The outside also has a large zipped compartment. Inside the courier backpack, a waterproof black fabric has been sewn in. Besides the main compartment, which is closed with a zipper, it has three smaller compartments inside: two slip-in compartments and one with a zipper. There is a hook next to the zipped compartment so that keys and other items are quickly to hand. Our chic "Upcycling by Bekos" patch is not to be missed. The carrying straps are made of robust raw cotton.

The material made from recycled sacks is very hard-wearing, waterproof, and durable. The printed colours of the bags show wear over time, depending on use. These are normal signs of use and are not a reason for defect. Each product is handmade and therefore unique. The appearance and texture of the material may therefore vary slightly.

Help to reduce waste and at the same time you are not only doing something good for nature but also for the disadvantaged society in Cambodia. All our products made of cement bags, rice and fish food bags, and vehicle tyres are produced under the seal of FairTrade in strict compliance with the 10 Commandments. This project is certified by the World Fair Trade Organisation and awarded by UNESCO. All accessories are designed by the villagers themselves and lovingly handmade; each one is unique, and the material cut-outs can vary in design because the bags are completely processed. The material with the fish motif was even first a fish food sack and in its second life a rice sack before it was processed into these noble accessories.
