Flotsam Flo Small Backpack

Lovingly handmade in Cornwall, this one-of-a-kind small backpack is made using repurposed Royal Mail fabric trolley sleeves* by small supplier, Flotsam Flo. This range is sold exclusively through The Postal Museum.

Flotsam Flo transforms waste materials that cannot easily be recycled into unique handmade accessories. These include materials such as life jackets, banners, thinner wetsuits, hot tub lids and inflatables. Without repurposing, these materials would often end up in incineration or, in some areas, landfill.

These bags make excellent gifts for the Eco conscious to postal lovers.

There are a limited supply available before Christmas but you can sign up for updates to keep informed of when they’re back in stock.

Please note: 

Due to the nature of the upcycled material there may be markings or signs of wear. These bags are handmade and so every bag is different from the last which means the design shown in photos may be different to the final product. Some bags may include details that others don't (for example numbers on the yellow strip). This item is intended as a bag only and is not waterproof. These bags are not lined.
