DENVER -- Global lifestyle brand Eastpak, has partnered with fashion marketplace, Depop on the Re-Rebuilt to Resist collection that makes strides towards a sustainable future with a limited drop of fifty upcycled backpacks. Available exclusively on Eastpak's US Depop shop, this unique offering is a sustainably conscious solution to reducing waste while preserving style.

Eastpak's designs are built with durable materials to endure an active lifestyle. In order to help extend the life of its designs, Eastpak launched a limited warranty policy for most styles up to 30 years that encourages customers to 'buy better and buy less'.

This exclusive Re-built to Resist collection is the sustainability driven result of the limited warranty policy. Each Padded Pak'r backpack from the collection consists of pre-loved bags from Eastpak's warranty center that are beyond repair, fusing two repurposed colorways or prints to create one-of-a-kind designs. Each piece features a main compartment, zip fastening front pocket, 13-inch laptop sleeve space, jacquard webbing and a detachable branded keychain. Additional elements include a padded back panel, padded shoulder straps and a wrapping bag, also made from leftover materials.

"We are thrilled to work with a like-minded partner like Depop - a leader in changing how we view and buy fashion - as Eastpak continues to work for a sustainable future," says Domitille Parent, VP of Global Brand Management at Eastpak. "The Rebuilt to Resist upcycled collection will showcase just how durable Eastpak product is."

The teamwork between these two entities spotlights the importance of upcycling goods and the beauty that is created from something used. Through Depop, Eastpak is able to connect with new customers by offering one-of-a-kind designs in limited quantities. Eastpak and Depop are working together to prove that a better future can be achieved through sustainable fashion.

The RE-BUILT TO RESIST collection backpacks retail for $50 and will be available at Eastpak's Depop Shop on November 30, 2021, while product lasts. High res images for download can be found HERE.
