Made in the USA
Effortlessly chic, the Calvin backpack is an ideal style for life on the go. Replace your purse with this eco-friendly, upcycled canvas and leather rucksack that is lightweight, spacious and durable, suitable for work, travel or play.
Designed as an alternative to your handbag, the Calvin was designed for women tired of sore backs and shoulders. Most backpacks are too casual, or sized to carry too much.
The drawstring component makes grabbing things one-handed a breeze, and compliment an active lifestyle. You won’t be devastated by the occasional leak/spill with the easy clean nylon interior. We lined it with internal sleeves and pockets so you'll stay organized.

The Pack that gives back
The Calvin is the result of our collaboration with actress Claire Coffee (from NBC’s Grimm) and Girls Inc. of the Pacific Northwest. 10% of each pack sold goes towards Girls Inc. and their mission to empower and embolden girls.
Motherhood got Claire thinking about what kind of world her son, Calvin, would grow up in. Each upcycled bag conserves resources, making a better world for Calvin and for our kids.
Initially conceived as a diaper bag for Claire's busy lifestyle as an actress and mom, the Calvin is a versatile pack that can handle that and more.
Designing the Calvin
“From the get go, it was like Melanie and Tamara were finishing my sentences. Everything they did was so on point with what I think of as attractive and useful. The finished product exceeded my wildest expectations." Photo of Claire and Calvin by Luke and Mallory DESIGNING THE CALVIN “From the get go, it was like Melanie and Tamara were finishing my sentences. Everything they did was so on point with what I think of as attractive and useful. The finished product exceeded my wildest expectations." --Claire Coffee reflecting on designing The Calvin We couldn't say it better. From the 14 concept sketches to the 4 prototypes, to the hours and hours of honing and fine-tuning, we were excited about the end result of The Calvin Backpack. Materials, features, pockets, hardware, weight, size, functionality — everything was taken into consideration!
