Long gone are the days of plastic roll-y backpacks of childhood and the overstuffed thousand pound turtle shells of high school while taking a billion AP’s. The time is 2023 and backpacks have come a long way into something light, compact, and aesthetically pleasing. One backpack that’s been checking all the boxes is Terra Thread’s Earth Backpack.
I tested Terra Thread’s laptop case a few months ago when I did an overall of tech. Now that I’m back in class, I need a backpack that fits not only my weight management (nothing over 50 pounds…) while still matching all my outfits 365 days, even off duty. I wanted something eco-friendly, too, and thus came across Earth Backpack. Made sustainably with Certified Fair Trade organic cotton canvas, it can hold up to 16 pounds. It’s the perfect fabric on bare shoulders without chafing and is lightweight to the touch. In the main pocket is a section for my laptop, a main compartment, and a higher smaller pocket for pens, highlighters, and for me, lip gloss, of course. I’m able to quickly grab what I need at the start of class in a few seconds and when I’m mildly distracted I can still feel around in the bag without looking. My favorite features are the two water bottle pockets. Do I actually use them for water bottles? Yes, well, at least one pocket… The other gets rotated with my keys, phone, sparkling water, or some other cold bev – making grab-and-go a breeze as I reach for my drink while walking to my next class, or my keys when I head to my car. Plus it comes in an assortment of colors; I picked a sunflower yellow!
Terra Thread’s practices are B Corps, GOTS, and Fair Trade-certified, rendering this as the most ethical backpack I’ve come across — from farming and factory to shipping. Choose your favorite color and fall in love with Earth Backpack.
