Solo New York’s Re:Claim Backpack: $65

Solo New York’s Re:Claim Backpack fits 11–15.6-inch laptops and tablets, offering padded compartments that protect devices while keeping them organized and out of sight. The interior layout is intentionally simple, while a padded exterior organizer with a key clip provides quick access to a tablet, phone or other essentials without opening the main compartment.

Built with sustainability in mind, the Re:Claim Backpack is made from recycled materials—each bag incorporates fabric derived from six recycled PET bottles. The interior features a subtle black camo lining, and practical touches include side mesh pockets for a water bottle, top loops that let you roll and secure a lightweight jacket, and a dedicated spot for an umbrella or other compact items.

For travel convenience the bag includes a back strap that slips over a luggage handle and a top carry handle so it can be carried like a tote when needed. These features make it a flexible choice for commuters, students and anyone who packs light for short trips.

Available in multiple colors and sizes, the Re:Claim Backpack balances economy, durability and eco-conscious materials—an option worth considering if you want a functional everyday bag with a smaller environmental footprint.
