Back Up 26

Description
A backpack without the usual rigid structure. Back Up 26 has a soft, generous shape designed to carry what you need while sitting comfortably against the body.
Made from repurposed deadstock MA-1 flight jacket material and deadstock Halley Stevensons dry wax cotton, the lightweight body is reinforced with a vintage Italian leather base. The contrast between soft fabrics and leather gives the bag structure where it's needed while allowing the rest of the shape to remain relaxed.
A two-tone Riri zip with leather pull opens the main compartment. Repurposed MA-1 flight jacket handles give you an alternative way to pick up and carry the bag, while quilted shoulder straps provide comfort when worn as a backpack. Adjustable polypropylene webbing, finished with reinforced vintage leather tips, allows the fit to be easily changed.
Inside, recycled polyester orange lining brings a flash of the MA-1 flight jacket's familiar colour. A Minnessak branded leather pocket and separate interior zip pocket keep smaller belongings organised within the main compartment.
At 400 × 310 × 120 mm, Back Up 26 has plenty of depth for everyday use, work or travel while weighing just 475g. Its soft construction means the shape responds to what you're carrying rather than remaining unnecessarily rigid when it's less full.
Each Back Up 26 is individually handmade to order in London from repurposed, deadstock, recycled and vintage materials. Embossed Minnessak leather patches front and back finish a backpack designed to acquire more character the more it's used.
