Re-Rebuilt to Resist is a collection of 50 upcycled backpacks created by Eastpak and Depop, and it simultaneously supports style and sustainability with two-toned designs. The durable backpacks tie into Eastpak's limited warranty policy, which goes up to 30 years and helps shoppers buy less but buy better.
The Padded Pak'r backpacks in the collection make the most of pre-loved bags from Eastpak's warranty center and the designs feature a main compartment, a secure front pocket, room for a 13-inch laptop, jacquard webbing, and a detachable branded keychain. The backpacks also incorporate leftover materials in areas such as the padded back panel and shoulder straps.
These exclusive backpacks can only be found on Eastpak's US Depop shop and they speak to consumers of all ages who are committed to reducing waste where possible.
