pay in 3 interest-free installments
Description
Susan Bijl created the first design and prototype in 2000 after studying at Willem De Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Her mission was to replace the single-use plastic bag and reduce the waste involved with its use. Taking the classic shape of the plastic bag as a starting point, Susan made it even more functional by making the side creases deeper, therefore adding volume.
Because of its compact design, this backpack is ideal for work and school but also perfect for any other day-to-day essentials. It has an inner sleeve to protect a laptop and various additional inside pockets. The New Backpack has adjustable straps, handles on top and an easily accessible large front pocket that closes with a subtle magnet.
This bag is made of our 300D heavy-duty waterproof fabric, which is Bluesign® certified and 100% recycled ripstop polyester, treated with a recycled TPE coating.

- Waterproof.
- A waterproof YKK zipper.
- Padded laptop pocket.
- Inner compartment pockets.
- Front pocket with magnet closing.
- Tight external side pockets for phone or a folded shopping bag.

YULEX® is a natural rubber alternative developed for neoprene wetsuits. It replaces the synthetic neoprene we have been using in the past. YULEX® presents the same qualities as its predecessor; soft, thick and reliable for many years of protection.
