Ansvar I is the first backpack in the world that is both Fairtrade Cotton & GOTS certified. In Scandinavia the word ansvar stands for responsibility. The concept of our backpack combines sustainability and Scandinavian design. The casual look is further enhanced by the subtle leather applications. The main compartment is accessed via the rolltop, which is closed with two buckles. It offers space for a large notebook and everything else you need for everyday use. The volume of 14 liters can be increased by a further 5 liters when rolled up. The back is padded for comfort. Another side pocket and a small front compartment with zipper offer space for a drinking bottle and small items that need to be within easy reach.
Made from 100% organic and Fairtrade Cotton this Backpack is comfortable to carry and at the same time sturdy. The dense canvas fabric protects against light rain and is quick drying. Since we only use natural materials, this Backpack can get an individual note over time. The MELA bag is ideal for everyday use, day trips, school, university, shopping and the office.
Our Backpack is part of our essentials that we have in our assortment on a permanent basis. With our basic styles you can create an essential set of sustainable and timeless clothing.
If you like this style, then it is meant for you. We believe that everyone can wear our ansvar I, regardless of gender stereotypes.

Seller highlight
MELA
During his travels to India, Henning was shocked when he witnessed the impact of Western consumerism on India's society. He decided that things could and should be done differently and founded the sustainable and fair fashion brand MELA. By keeping low margins, MELA wants to make sustainable and fair fashion available to everyone. The freshly colored and timeless pieces and fairly priced bedding are produced in GOTS and Fairtrade certified factories in India, where the team pays frequent visits. It doesn’t get any better than this!
