A note from Liz: I'm excited to share these lovely bags and backpacks made by Rachel Elise Studio in North Carolina. The handprinted fabrics, beautiful colors inspired by nature, and durability are making these a quick favorite around here.
The details: The Mini Backpack is the perfect travel companion, whether you're heading to the airport or just to grab some groceries. Fits all the essentials with a little room to spare-- and check out those exterior pockets! Like all Rachel Elise products, this canvas backpack is made with 100% vegan materials. This Mini Backpack is made with our in-house printed Luna design in the color of your choice. This screenprinted panel is complemented by weather-resistant canvas. Fully lined with canvas. Closes with a zipper and has one interior pocket. Measures 11 in tall x 10 in wide and has two adjustable straps.
More about the makers: Rachel Elise was founded in 2008 while owner and maker Rachel Aughtry was earning her BFA in Fiber Art. Combining the skills from her degree with her life-long love of sewing, she started selling a collection of bags at the neighborhood coffee shop. Many stockists later (including a few more coffee shops!), Rachel's husband Bo was able to quit his job and work at Rachel Elise as well. They soon relocated their studio from their native Texas to the Blue Ridge Mountains, where they sew, print, and ship each and every RE bag.
