I used to be a Broken Wetsuit - Backpack

Here is a backpack made from a broken Wetsuit that are very difficult to recycle. These bags have a fold down top and close with a plastic clip. Wetsuit material is tricky to sew so pockets are often a little wonky, but this is the beauty of this material. These bags are all very much unique as parts of wetsuit have been stitched together to make larger sections, this is very time consuming but you will not get any 2 of these bags the same. There are a couple of love heart shapes which have been stitched on this bag, one on the front and two on the back of the bag near the top of the straps.

They have a small handle so they are easy to carry - this was the zip pull from a broken wetsuit. There are two adjustable backpack straps. The webbing strap by the clip also has part of a punctured inner tube to keep the end of the strap safe. Due to stitching through the neoprene I would never say that these are waterproof. The top can be rolled down or just folded down but sometimes the roll will fall due to the material. The pocket is organically shaped and measures approx 8 1/2” across by 6 1/4” high. 

This bag measures when closed, 17” high and 15.” across tapering to 9.5” across at the base. Unfolded, when fully open, the bag is 24” high. What is great about this bag is it has a tapered base meaning it’s roomy with a boxy base. This then tapers towards the top. The back pack straps go to about 35” at the longest but of course these can go smaller also as they are adjustable. This bag has some sights of wear and markings on it due to the nature of repurposing the material. 

As this is made from a broken wetsuit, the material is floppy and so the bag sometimes sits a bit funny. The material is stretchy and difficult to sew so is sometimes very slightly wonky or organic shaped, but this is the beauty of the material.

Please note, as the material used it repurposed, there may be some signs of wear or markings on these items but this is the beauty of them. It is important to know that the bags are not waterproof due to the upcycled material and the stitching used to create these items. Due to this material the items may be slightly organic shaped! We try and upcycle 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 I will state this, otherwise please assume they are new items. As with all Flotsam Flo items, this bag is not suitable for children and is for Adults only.
