Detroit Drawstring Backpack

The Detroit Drawstring Backpack combines a soft leather body with a simple cinch-top design. It is made to order from unused automotive leather and has two zipper pockets to organize smaller items. Thick braided nylon cords form the shoulder straps, with leather comfort cinches to help position them.

This is a casual carry option for everyday outings and travel between familiar places. Check the body and pocket dimensions against what you plan to carry, and use the zipper pockets for smaller essentials. A maker tag identifies the veteran or Detroit artisan behind the bag. Available color combinations give reclaimed leather a new purpose in a practical format.

Materials

Materials and craftsmanship

The leather is reclaimed from unused automotive-production material. Reusing these pieces gives an existing material another purpose, with natural variations in grain and color between batches. The listed hardware, lining and strap details describe this product’s design.

For background on recycled-content terminology, read the FTC guide to environmental product claims.

Care

Care and use

For smooth leather, gently blot marks with a cold-water-dampened cloth. Test treatments discreetly; suede needs separate care.
