One of the most versatile, necessary and comfortable items for our daily life are backpacks. But, have you ever thought that they can also be innovative? At Hand Matters we offer you handmade bags that, besides being avant-garde, propose an environmental and social impact. Discover our pieces, and transform your look through awareness.
Practical, Comfortable, and Eco-friendly Backpacks
We believe in second chances. That is why our sustainable bags are created from discarded materials. We work alongside creators who take plastics, bags and canvas that are thrown away in world-threatening quantities and turn them into a unique accessory, full of style and originality.
The backpacks, like the Cowhide Purses, also have a unique design, so no matter how many there are in the world, there will never be another one like yours.
In addition to being innovative for the change they bring in their production, these pieces are also functional. You can find classic or Bohemian models to combine with different outfit styles. Each one of them is spacious, and you can use them for work, travel or going on a picnic.
Artisan-Crafted with Sustainable Leather Bags
Hand Matters designs are special because they are made with purpose. The true value of these pieces is in the story of the artisan behind it. Our designs, like the Noah Backpack, represent the resilience, organization and talent of the person who made it.
This gorgeous backpack is created by Construyendo Esperanza, a family business located in San Martín, a marginalized neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. They design pieces with top quality cowhide leather, while providing work for 12 other families in the neighborhood.
Our leather backpacks are handmade through a nature-friendly process, and are all the more meaningful because they are driven by solidarity and self-improvement.
