Backpack Dante, Navy

Sandqvist makes this spacious yet lightweight backpack from a durable 12-ounce canvas woven from recycled polyester. The fabric is almost as strong and tightly woven as a tarpaulin, making it quite robust and (to a certain extent) water-repellent. The backpack is equipped with a padded laptop compartment that can protect devices up to 16 inches (dimensions of the compartment W 26 × H 40 × D 2 cm). The large main compartment is not further subdivided, only a small slip-in compartment holds small items. The backpack closes like a messenger bag via a roll-top with a zipper. If the opening is rolled up, it holds 16 liters, without rolling up the volume can even be increased to 23 liters. This means you can fit everything you need for the day - from an A4 folder to a lunch box. An additional zippered compartment on the front keeps small items close at hand. The wide, padded shoulder straps are infinitely adjustable and an additional carrying handle makes the backpack easy to handle even when it is not being carried on your back.

Typically, the bags and backpacks of the Swedish label Sandqvist feature a design that focuses on clear lines and well-thought-out functionality. Furthermore, the Swedens objective is sustainable and environment-friendly production. The materials used are organic cotton, recycled nylon, polyester, and leather. Sandqvist ensures high material quality, plus good working conditions and fair wages for the farmworkers by sourcing the cotton directly from independent farmers in Adilabad, India. The hides for the leather parts come from Scandinavian animals, mostly from cattle (from dairy farms and beef raising farmers). Sandqvist chooses recycled plastics over new generated materials to save natural resources and energy. Regular visits to Sandqvist’s suppliers guarantee transparency in the production process and ensure fair working conditions. The company is a member of the Fair Wear Foundation and adheres to the foundation’s code.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
