Redefine your commute with our Urban Convertible Backpack. Sustainably handmade from reclaimed faux leather and recycled climbing ropes, it’s the perfect bag for cyclist commuters who care about both style, and the planet. Each limited edition bag is customisable, so you're sure not to bump into anyone else with the same one. Highly water resistant for most weather conditions.
Limited Runs: ONLY 3 OLIVE-GREY BAGS MADE, EACH WITH DIFFERENT LINING. Constructed from deadstock and other finite source materials, there is a limited number of each bag material made. Many one of a kind, so when they're gone they are gone.
Colour + Fabric: Reclaimed smooth texture faux leather upholstery in olive-grey
Lining + Inner pockets: LIGHT GREY, TEAL or DARK GREY lining. These bags have 5 inner pockets, one of which can hold a small laptop or tablet
Customise: Choose your rope colour + length. You can also purchase extra ropes in a variety of colours to easily change up the look of your bag here. Any ropes labelled "climbing" have been recycled from local climbing centres.
Water Resistance: Synthetic leather and vinyl material are highly water resistant (please note, due to the minimalist design, the bag is not fully waterproof).

We use as much reclaimed materials as possible
Outer shell: Deadstock reclaimed upholstery with varying fabric composition (see above for specific details for this listing)
Lining: Recycled tents, curtains, blinds and other reclaimed upholstery
Strap: All patterned ropes are recycled climbing ropes. The solid colour ropes are new materials but composed of 100% recycled PET bottles (rPET). The black hi-vis rope is made of polyester, we are currently trying to source a reflective rope that is more sustainable
Silicone Tubing: recyclable through specialist
Metal Hardware: recyclable in the metal section of your local recycling facility
Our reclaimed materials are sourced throughout the UK - waste materials from other businesses, recycling centres, climbing centres and just about anywhere we can think of that would have materials we can save from landfill.
We sort through the variety of materials collected and pair fabrics before sending it all to a local two person atelier to construct each bag. Team ditto then finishes them by adding the hardware and ropes.
ROPE LENGTH
- SML - petite frames under 5’4” (max 1.5m usable rope)

- LRG - medium to tall frames 5’8” 6’ (max 1.9m usable rope)

The above fitting suggestion is based on height only, size up for larger builds or to wear over bulky items. Ropes are easily shortened by simply adding more knots.
Each bag is made to order, so they can be made to fit anyone and everyone. Please get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate your specific requirements.
