Zambian Portland Cement Backpack

We move with the times, we process what we can, so that it doesn't end up in a pile of doomed garbage... Cement bags are commonly used by poorer families when they can't afford to buy an expensive school backpack, but some still end up in the "landfill". We decided to use them to make designer backpacks that are very strong and can withstand the weight of college textbooks - you can check for yourself. The supply is limited and we won't have more of them, because our sewing machines were breaking down quite a bit, so we soon stopped making them. The length of the shoulder straps is adjustable with wooden buttons from a local woodcarving workshop. Most backpacks have one large compartment of sewn fabric inside, some backpacks have a small pocket. The cement bags are cleaned before sewing, so you don't have to worry about getting dirty. Each piece is original.
