Sustainable by Design
You have probably owned plenty of backpacks that ended up unused. Some might have broken, others no longer fit your style, or they simply wore out.
clévany backpacks are built differently: they are repairable, modular to adapt to your needs, and designed for long-term durability.
Four Essential Actions that We Take
1. We Carefully Select Our Materials and Suppliers
We choose high-quality, eco-friendly materials like recycled polyester, ensuring durability and reducing environmental impact.
We partner with bluesign® certified suppliers who uphold responsible production standards.
2. We Strive to Repair, Upgrade, and Reuse Every Backpack
Before throwing away a backpack, we try to repair, upgrade, or reuse it.
• Repair: We designed our backpacks for easy repair by using screws instead of rivets, and incorporating parts that can be easily dismantled.
• Upgrade: Our backpack is modular, allowing you to swap specific parts instead of replacing the entire bag.
• Reuse: Returned backpacks find new life through programs like our tester initiative, which you might be familiar with.
3. We Promote Sustainable and Active Commuting
By combining multiple functions into one convertible backpack, we minimize waste and support greener alternatives to driving.
Our backpacks are lightweight and comfortable for everyday use, and when carrying heavier loads, you can easily transform them into a trolley.
4. We Donate One Percent of Our Sales to Make an Even Bigger Difference
Clément - founder of clévany:
"From day one, I decided that every purchase should mean something bigger. That’s why I have built giving back into the business from the very start.
With every clévany backpack sold, 1% of the sale will go toward projects that improve and simplify the lives of commuters. If you have any project ideas, let me know!"
