Sustainable Backpacks

Our modern backpacks are the ideal accessories for holding all your essentials when you’re on the go. With a variety of colors and two convenient sizes to choose from, you’re sure to find your new favorite backpack for a commute to the office, a day running errands, or a trip across the country.

The felt backpacks boast a unique three-way design that shows off the sculptural quality of felt as well as merino wool felt's natural durability. The features include an interior zippered felt pocket, smooth leather trim, and nickel hardware that keeps your belongings secure while looking great.

And this isn’t just your typical backpack. The detachable straps convert the Bedford Backpack from backpack to shoulder tote in seconds. So you can have a backpack or a tote depending on your needs or style.

Not only are these modern backpacks stylish, but they’re also sustainable. All of our felt backpacks are made with sustainable materials including merino wool felt and vegetable-tanned leather. The combination of these materials makes for a stylish, ethical backpack that’s also durable to stand up to everyday wear and tear.

Merino wool is rapidly renewable, biodegradable, recyclable, and can be produced naturally with minimal negative impact. It’s also naturally water resistant and holds up against dirt and stains, meaning you won’t have to replace it every year or two like typical backpacks. The veg tan leather accents are buttery smooth and aged gracefully over time.

When you want a sustainable backpack built to last, you can’t go wrong with merino wool felt.

Our modern backpacks come in two convenient sizes so you can choose what you need depending on the day:

Bedford Merino Wool Felt Backpack can hold everything from your laptop to your water bottle for a day out. Along with being roomy, this versatile backpack can also transform into a tote in seconds thanks to a detachable strap.

Bedford Merino Wool Felt Mini Backpack is designed for light journeys or small frames. Its versatility is unmatched since it can become a crossbody, backpack, or shoulder bag whenever you want it.
