POCKET BACKPACK Turns into the Bag You Want, When You Need it

POCKET BACKPACK, the bag that changes its shape to match your needs, launched February 28th on the world’s largest crowdfunding platform, Kickstarter.

Made with excellent usability, POCKET BACKPACK is a light but sturdy Tyvek bag made with high-density polyethylene fibers. Tyvek is a functional paper material invented by DuPont that retains its shape in water and doesn’t tear easily, in addition to being water resistant and highly breathable. When burned, POCKET BACKPACK emits only carbon dioxide and water, with none of the harmful chemicals of other plastics. Plus, the plastic used is 100% recyclable. With excellent air permeability and waterproofness, POCKET BACKPACK won’t get wet when caught in the rain, and can take the shape of a pouch, backpack, tote bag, or mat to match what you need. 

As a backpack, POCKET BACKPACK weighs 248 g (8.74 oz) and sports dimensions of 20 x 22 x 3.5 (cm) / 7.87 x 8.66 x 1.37 (in). When unfolded, the dimensions become 59 x 15.74 x 5.51 (in).

As a mat bag, POCKET BACKPACK weighs 284 g (10.01 oz), and sports dimensions of 49 x 44 x 1.5 (cm) / 19.29 x 17.32 x 0.59 (in). When unfolded, the dimensions become 143 x 88 (cm) / 56.29 x 34.64 (in).

When asked about their process, Bags In Bag, the minds behind POCKET BACKPACK, told us “We started with the idea for a portable backpack, and created sample backpacks of about 200 different designs and colors. In 2017, we officially founded our brand, and began developing, researching, and manufacturing all kinds of pouches, completing our worldwide brand registration in 2019.”

“When one of our bags was selected as an Amazon’s Choice product, we founded BAGS IN BAG INC in the US, and began planning our official entry into the US market. We’re overjoyed to launch a bag on Kickstarter that’s both functional and environmentally friendly. But it would mean the world to us to also have the support of our backers.”

Using their initial design inspiration, Bags In Bag researched over 200 different colors and designs before deciding on their finalized product and color options. POCKET BACKPACK comes in black, gray, orange, green, and navy.
