WHY IT’S WORTH THE WAIT

A STUDY IN MODERN LUXURY

This isn’t fast fashion—it’s intentional creation. Made from upcycled ANDI straps and orphaned fabrics, the Re:Connect Backpack turns scraps into something timeless.

Made-to-order means no overproduction, no excess—just exactly what’s needed. Along the way, you’ll get updates, including behind-the-scenes photos, as your bag comes to life.

LIMITED BY MATERIAL, UNLIMITED BY DESIGN

Andrea’s Take

I always knew that something cool would come from the orphaned straps and strap fabric we have been salvaging.

For a while, we have had requests for new black bags and for a smaller backpack and this came together just right. I love how sleek the design is - it’s very modular and gives it such an elevated look and feel. You would never know that this is actually an upcycled piece.

My favorite thing about this piece is the secret exterior pocket. I wanted it to have this very sleek minimalist look, but it would be torturous to have a backpack without an exterior pocket! So Irma from Esperanza and I worked together to make this glorious design wish happen - the outside pocket can’t be seen from the outside, but it is there.

We added the zipper for extra security, but I often just leave mine open. This is such a special piece that uplevels our style, our day out, our community and our planet.

Effortless movement, streamlined form.

Crossbody, Reimagined

The Re:Connect was built from salvaged premium straps — materials engineered for strength, reimagined here as luxury design.

Worn crossbody, its clean lines and tailored silhouette make an architectural statement while keeping essentials close. Elegance comes through simplicity, crafted to move with you and to last.

From the street to the terminal, seamlessly.

Made for the Journey

Constructed from luxury-grade ANDI straps, the Re:Connect transforms utility into refinement.

With its integrated trolley strap, the bag anchors effortlessly to your suitcase, a detail born from purposeful design.

Its structured shape and pared-back aesthetic embody simple architecture elevated — proof that elegance lies in restraint.

Classic carry, modern purpose.

The Backpack, Elevated

Every detail of the Re:Connect is intentional — from reinforced seams to the repurposed black straps that give this piece its quiet strength.

As a backpack, the design celebrates minimal architecture: sleek, balanced, and deceptively simple. Luxury is not added decoration here — it’s in the way form and function merge seamlessly.

Helps people

Re:Connect Backpacks are made right here in Colorado by people who have faced barriers to employment and have been given a second chance to build their lives thanks to Mile High Workshop and Esperanza Productions. Your bag will ship to you right from the production line, as soon as it passes QC. Because we are working within the constraints of the upcycled/orphaned fabric we have on-hand, these are only available in limited quantities. They will ship in the order that they are received.
