From linings to labels, each product gives new life to recycled plastic bottles that otherwise would have made their way into our landfills. We’re talking body fabric, lining, labels, zipper tapes and webbing. Every inch of the Eco collection has been made more sustainable. 

The manufacturing process for these Herschel backpacks involves breaking up post-consumer PET water bottles, melting them down and spinning the resulting substance into yarn. This recycled yarn gets woven into fabric that is cut and sewn to form the body and lining of their most classic silhouettes.

Which silhouettes, you ask? The Classic XL, the Retreat and the City Mid have all been transformed into eco-friendly designs. 

If you’re looking for an all black Herschel backpack or an all pink Herschel backpack, the Eco Classic XL is the way to go. Both laptop backpacks offer 30 liters of enhanced storage and are made with fifteen recycled water bottles, all diverted from our landfills.   

The Eco Retreat, on the other hand, is a more sustainable rendition of their forever timeless mountaineering style. A whopping seventeen water bottles go into making these essential black backpacks a reality.

Last but not least, the City Mid is the most compact backpack in the Eco lineup. This 14-litre scouting bag is a favourite everyday staple that takes eleven recycled bottles to make.

If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly option for your next backpack, look no further than the Herschel Supply Eco collection. Shop these sustainable styles in store or online at Little Burgundy.
