Upcrafted Academy Drawstring Backpack

Pre-owned and now (re)loved, this Academy Drawstring Backpack is a very special Coach upcrafted design inspired by our commitment to rethinking and reducing our impact on the planet. Saved from the landfill, this gently-worn bag was lovingly repaired and transformed by our in-house craftspeople who added clever details to give it a second life. It’s completely one-of-a-kind, and comes with its own unique set of charms. Wear it, love it, pass it on.

Reimagined with an edgy Varsity vibe by Rose Oliva featuring eclectic Coach embellishments, this hands-free style has been expertly cleaned, conditioned and restored. Our talented craftspeople Angel Penaloza and Kendry Almonte de Torres hand-decorated the front with darkly dramatic patches and striking pins, repaired and reattached drawstring, spot-painted the corners, then added a playful repurposed charm. Academy is super lightweight, making it perfect for the gym or errands and great for travel because it takes up zero extra space in luggage. The front pocket makes it easy to access your phone, keys and wallet, while the spacious main compartment holds clothes, notebooks, snacks and sneakers. Crafted of smooth leather and nylon, carry the versatile style as a tote with the smooth leather handles.
