Handmade Everyday Backpack
The bag you reach for every single day should be as well made as everything else you do. Roomy without being bulky, structured without being stiff, and distinctive enough that people at markets stop to ask where it's from - this is the backpack that does it all.
Why You'll Love It
Organised from the moment you put it on - three exterior pockets and two interior slip pockets mean everything has a home and stays there, hands-free all day
The perfect size for real life - at H 37 cm × W 33.5 cm × D 10 cm it sits between our Mini Backpack and a full travel bag; big enough for a working day or weekend explore, compact enough to feel effortless
That front pocket though - the signature accent fabric pocket is what stops people in their tracks; it's the detail that makes this bag unmistakably a Bobbin & Spool piece
Lightly padded for shape and comfort - protects your belongings, keeps the silhouette sleek, and makes it comfortable to wear all day on adjustable straps
Built for British weather - waxed cotton or oilskin outer handles light showers without fuss, and gets better looking with wear
Lined with preloved textiles - every lining is unique, reclaimed, and one of a kind; no two bags are ever the same inside or out
What's Included

FAQs
How does this compare to the Mini Backpack? The Everyday Backpack is the next size up - H 37 cm × W 33.5 cm × D 10 cm versus the Mini's H 30 cm × W 23 cm × D 8 cm. It has more pockets, a lightly padded body for structure, and the signature accent front pocket. If you need it for a full working day or a weekend away, this is the one.
Is it waterproof? The waxed cotton or oilskin outer is water-resistant, handling light showers and everyday splashes comfortably. Spot-cleaning is recommended rather than machine washing, to preserve the waxed finish and structure.
What is waxed canvas and does it need maintenance? Waxed canvas develops a natural patina over time - slight creasing and lightening in well-used areas - which is completely normal and gives each bag its own character. If the finish dulls, it can be re-waxed at home with canvas wax.
Is this really one of a kind? Yes, genuinely. Each bag is made in limited quantities from a unique combination of waxed outer and preloved lining - no two are ever the same, and once that design is gone, it won't be remade.
Can I have one made in my own choice of fabrics? Yes - use the design-your-own option here and Claire will create an everyday backpack in the fabrics and colours that feel most like you.
How long will delivery take? Orders placed before 5pm are dispatched the next working day via Royal Mail Tracked 48 (2–3 days) or Tracked 24 (next day). Free standard delivery on orders over £120; £4.95 otherwise.
Can I return it if it's not right? Yes - free UK returns, subject to our Returns Policy. To start a return, get in touch via the website.

Add to your basket - and if you'd like your own version made to order, design your own here or get in touch with Claire directly.
