I was once a broken Crocodile Inflatable and Offcuts of Canopy - Handmade Adult's Smaller Backpack

This unique, small backpack is made mostly from a broken crocodile inflatable, off cuts of canopy material and a splash of yellow — durable materials that are challenging to recycle. Handmade in Cornwall, this item has a standout crocodile paw/hand stitched onto the top of the fold-down flap, alongside additional decorative stitching, and a love heart shape making it one of a kind. There is also decorative stitching on the back of this bag. The off cuts of canopy comes from a company who makes canopies and these are the off cuts that would otherwise go to waste. 

With a fold-down top, this bag is secured by a sturdy plastic clip and includes a small carry handle and two adjustable straps for comfortable wear. A punctured inner tube has been cleverly repurposed to hold the webbing straps on the section by the clip. Perfect for your essentials, it’s a stylish way to support upcycling!

Dimensions & Fit:
- When Closed: Approx. 14” high, 10.5” wide at the top and tapering to 5 3/4” at the base which is 4" wide and tapers up. 
- When Open: Expands up to 19 1/2” high when fully unfolded.
- Straps: Adjustable to a maximum of 34" but these are adjustable and will go smaller for the perfect fit. Al measurements are approximate. 

The base’s tapered design provides extra room, while the boxy structure keeps things organised. As each bag is made mostly from upcycled material, the bag’s shape and stitching are delightfully unique and may include slight irregularities.

Please note, as this item is hand made with off cut materials, there may be signs of wear and markings. These items are not waterproof and intended as a purse only. Not everything is precise but this is the beauty of the product. Some items may be slightly wonky and not exactly straight, including how the corners have turned out due to the thickness and durability of material. Item may contain PVC. All measurements are as accurate as I can get them but approximate. We try and reuse as much material as we can, but other components used on these items such as zips and webbing straps are not always repurposed, but they are where ever I can get them and will state if they have been repurposed. 

Please note, Flotsam Flo items and this item is not suitable for children.
