Plain Weave Recycled Plastic Bottle Fabric (rPET)
This is a high-density fabric with a thick and smooth texture, designed to maintain the sturdy structure of large backpacks. Its smooth surface enhances color saturation and reflects light, resulting in vibrant and bright hues that create a striking visual impact on monochromatic bags.
Made from recycled plastic bottles, this material is highly elastic and tear-resistant, making it a more sustainable option compared to conventional fabrics. It also features water-repellent properties and excellent durability, making it versatile enough to handle various everyday scenarios.
Plain Weave rPET
Advantages
- Monochrome performance
- High density
- Thick and durable
- Wear-resistant and Water-repellent
Care Instructions
Hand wash with mild detergent, air dry in the shade, and avoid bleach or tumble drying. For machine washing, turn the inner lining inside out and wash with similar colors. For ironing, star with low-temperature.
Grid Recycled Plastic Bottle Fabric (rPET)
This fabric is crafted using a 6x6 woven structure, creating a textured grid pattern with a light, slightly raised feel. In terms of color performance, it offers a more dimensional and layered look compared to plain weave fabrics. The visible texture results in a matte finish, giving backpacks a refined and premium appearance, particularly in darker shades.
Made from recycled plastic bottles, this material is lighter and thinner than other usual fabrics while offering superior water-repellent properties, capable of withstanding moderate to heavy rain. Additionally, it features UV resistance, extending the fabric's lifespan.
Grid rPET
Advantages
- Enhances darker tones
- Lightweight and thin
- Water-repellent
- UV-resistant
Care Instructions
Hand wash with mild detergent, air dry in the shade, and avoid bleach or tumble drying. For machine washing, turn the inner lining inside out and wash with similar colors. For ironing, star with low-temperature.
Faux Leather Recycled Plastic Bottle Fabric (rPET)
This material is based on plain weave rPET and enhanced with faux leather craftsmanship (PU coating). It retains the advantages of plain weave rPET while significantly improving water resistance, stain resistance, and structural firmness. The faux leather finish fills in the fine texture of polyester, resulting in a smoother and more refined touch. Its coating provides either a glossy or matte effect, adding a modern and stylish appeal to backpacks.
Made from recycled plastic bottles, the faux leather material offers superior water and stain resistance. In terms of water resistance, the coating allows rainwater to form beads that roll off the surface, preventing it from seeping through the fibers into the bag. This makes it capable of withstanding heavy rain and short bursts of torrential downpour. Additionally, backpacks with faux leather material are 30% sturdier compared to those without, and their surfaces are less prone to attracting dust or stains, making them easy to clean and ideal for outdoor environments with unpredictable conditions.
Faux Leather rPET
Advantages
- Stylish matte finish
- High density and extra firmness
- Smooth and refined texture
- Water and stain resistant
Care Instructions
Simply clean with a wet wipe or damp cloth using water. Do not iron or machine wash.

Fast-degrading Recycled Plastic Bottle Fabric (rPET) Canvas
This innovative fabric combines the practicality of traditional canvas with eco-friendly properties. It has a smooth and dry texture. To achieve biodegradability, the inclusion of degradable groups in its molecular structure slightly reduces dye adhesion, resulting in softer, more natural hues with lower color saturation. This makes it ideal for light-colored or matte design aesthetics.
The material retains the durability and wear-resistance of traditional canvas while being capable of naturally degrading in specific environments, significantly reducing its environmental impact. With a high density, it offers sufficient thickness and strength, along with reliable water resistance. Due to its eco-friendly composition, the fabric decomposes 100 times faster than conventional products, drastically shortening the time needed for full degradation and allowing it to return to the natural environment.
Fast-degrading rPET canvas
Advantages
- Natural matte finish
- Smooth and dry texture
- Wear-resistant
- Water-resistant
Care Instructions
Clean gently with a damp cloth and avoid machine washing, ironing, or using chemical cleaners. Air dry naturally after cleaning and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
Waxed Canvas
This is a type of canvas fabric with a wax coating on its surface. The texture is smooth with a slight matte roughness, and as the wax layer naturally wears over time, the overall feel becomes more supple. Due to the wax layer, the canvas colors appear deeper and richer compared to regular canvas, with subtle textures that add depth to the colors, making it ideal for showcasing a vintage aesthetic, especially in darker tones.
The material is crafted by evenly permeating melted wax into the dyed canvas fibers, forming a protective wax layer on the surface. This wax coating provides excellent water resistance, effectively preventing rainwater and moisture from seeping in. Waxed plain weave canvas is sturdy and durable, resistant to tearing, and capable of withstanding significant tension and abrasion. Additionally, the tight plain weave structure combined with the wax layer offers some wind resistance, helping to block cold air and providing warmth.
Waxed Canvas
Advantages
- Vintage matte finish
- Smooth with a matte texture
- Wear and water resistant
- Windproof and insulating
Care Instructions
Clean gently with a damp cloth and avoid machine washing, ironing, or using chemical cleaners. Air dry naturally and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Eco-friendly Recycled Nylon
This innovative nylon fiber is made from recycled nylon waste and processed into a new material. The twill weave gives it a soft, smooth, and elastic handfeel, as light and airy as a cloud. With dyeing and shaping treatments applied to the fabric, it achieves high color saturation and uniformity, offering a matte or semi-matte finish that exudes a premium aesthetic.
This material reduces dependency on virgin nylon and minimizes resource waste, aligning with eco-friendly principles. The twill weave creates a natural texture on the fabric surface, providing high durability. Its high-density weave and nylon properties deliver excellent water resistance and windproof performance, keeping the interior warmer than the external environment. Nylon’s low thermal conductivity also imparts a cool touch to the fabric surface, which becomes more pronounced in this high-density (290T) nylon material—making it an ideal choice for outdoor applications.
Eco-friendly Recycled Nylon
Advantages
- Premium matte texture
- Soft, smooth, and elastic
- Water and wear resistant and Windproof
- Warm in winter, cool in summer
Care Instructions
Clean gently with a damp cloth and avoid machine washing, ironing, or using chemical cleaners. Air dry naturally and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Recycled Nylon Crinkle Fabric
This textile is crafted by bonding two fabrics through a composite process, resulting in a material that is lightweight, soft, and slightly fluffy to the touch. The crinkle texture on the nylon surface creates uneven light reflection, producing subtle variations in color depth. Meanwhile, the fleece inner layer scatters light, softening the overall appearance and reducing shine, giving the fabric a rich, layered color profile. The natural crinkle effect of the nylon adds a trendy, wrinkle-concealing texture that exudes a sophisticated, high-fashion vibe.
This material combines eco-friendliness, wind and water resistance, durability, and warmth. The outer recycled nylon layer features a high-density structure that effectively resists external abrasion, provides excellent wind and water resistance, and is tear-resistant. The fleece inner layer (polar fleece) traps air, offering superior insulation to keep you warm. Additionally, the fleece is stain-resistant, easy to clean, and quick-drying, making it highly practical and low-maintenance.
Recycled Nylon Crinkle Fabric
Advantages
- Premium matte finish with a stylish crinkle texture
- Lightweight, soft, and slightly fluffy
- Wear-resistant and tear-resistant
- Water-resistant and windproof
- Highly insulating for warmth
- Stain-resistant and easy to clean
- Quick-drying and easy to maintain
Care
Gently clean with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh detergents. Air dry naturally and do not use high heat, ironing, or tumble drying. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
