Description

The perfect everyday (20L) backpack, made from recycled plastic. The Menos backpack combines a stunning, minimalist aesthetic with uncompromising functionality.

We want you to feel like a boss every time you head out into the world. On your way to work or at the airport jetting off on a weekend away, your backpack shouldn't make you look like you're off to summit Everest. But you also shouldn't have to compromise on functionality.

We’re tired of top-loading backpacks, having to unload everything just to find your favourite undies. We’re tired of uncomfortable straps and excess pockets. We’re tired of feeling more like a mountaineer than a sleek, young professional.

So, we created The Menos Backpack, designed to adapt to your needs, from the office to the airport.

Pack effortlessly

Open the zip as far as you want. Drop your work essentials in by opening just the top (like a normal backpack), or fully unzip to pack for a weekend away.

On-the-go USB charging port

Never run out of charge

Inspired by Beth's inability to navigate without Google Maps, we wanted to make sure her phone never died. Simply plug your power bank in (inside the internal pocket) and power your phone on the go without opening your backpack.

Power bank not included.

Internal water bottle holder

Take your bottle with you

Our super sleek aesthetic meant we didn't want a water bottle pouch on the outside of the bag. Instead, you can keep your bottle upright with our mesh internal bottle holder. The war on single-use plastic isn't going to fight itself.

Padded 13-17" laptop sleeve

Keep your laptop safe

A padded laptop sleeve to protect your laptop while you're on the go. There's also a padded iPad / notebook sleeve.

Easy-access side pocket

Quickly find your keys, headphones or passport

Our soft-lined easy access side pocket is the perfect place for your passport, phone, airpods or keys. It's hidden to protect your valuables from thieves (and maintain our minimalist aesthetic).

Free cabin bag size

Don't pay for hand luggage

The Menos is 45cm x 32cm x 18cm, which makes it more or less the biggest bag you can take on (most) European airlines for free. For a weekend away, the Menos could save you £50 in on-board baggage allowance!

Recyled, water-resistant material

100% recycled RPET fabric is highly water resistant, meaning you can be confident that your stuff will stay dry even in 30-60 minutes of heavy rain.

Quick-grab handle

The Menos has a sleek quick-grab handle designed to hold firm under considerable weight for years to come.

Anti-theft, waterproof zips

Every zip on The Menos Backpack is made by YKK (the world leader in durable zips). Our outer zip is waterproof and hidden... not a good day to be a pickpocket.

90-DAY TRIAL PERIOD

Try out your Menos backpack for 90 days.

If, by the end of that, you don't think it's the best backpack you've ever owned, we'll give you a full refund.

Loving this backpack

I've had my Menos for a week and am very impressed. It's sturdy and designed to carry all the things I lug back and forth from the office, has secure spaces for my coffee and water bottles, and is very comfortable to wear. It's also incredibly sleek and I've already gotten multiple compliments on its appearance this week. Big fan!

Great quality good features

Really comfy and feels incredibly durable throughout the commute. I know Beth from Uni so to see her make such an incredible brand I’ll use every day is very inspiring. Great stuff!

Nice Backpack

Pleased with the purchase I made. Well made and just the right size for my daily needs. Would recommend people take a look at if looking for a new purchase.

Nice but Yet Disappointing

I am overall disappointed with the Menos bag. The positives are high quality construction and attractive design elements. The small cell phone pouch is good for all kinds of things and is very accessible. To me, the negatives outweigh the positives; I am surprised Liam would find this bag acceptable for his daily legal needs. 1. There is no luggage strap to hold the bag in place on top of my suitcase when traveling. Competitor backpacks/bags all have this. How could it be overlooked? 2. The shaped design is not practical. My padfolio/notebook won't fit inside properly because the bag is not square but it narrows and constricts. 3. The clam shell design does not work. Everything falls out of my bag when I open it to get things. It is incredibly clumsy. I bought this bag because I figured it must be incredible since Liam designed it and uses it. But, it is actually inferior to the cheaper one I was already using.

A great bag

This bag delivers. It's good looking. It is functional. And fights off heavy rain very well. I thought it was a bit on the expensive side, but then again, good bags aren't cheap. I'm considering buying one as a gift...

Sustainability

Buy 1, collect 100

When you buy a Menos backpack, you fund the collection of 100 ocean-bound plastic bottles before they reach our seas.

Locals in coastal communities exchange the plastic they collect for money so they can get access to healthcare, tuition, quality food and other things they need.

Recyled Materials

Both the outer fabric and the inner lining of our backpacks are made from recycled polyethylene tetraphyte (RPET).

It's a durable, water resistant material made from recycled plastic. Best of all, a 2017 study found that manufacturing RPET uses 59% less energy and releases 32% less CO2 when compared with virgin polyester.

Each backpack is made from the equivalent of 15 post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

Compostable & Recyclable Packaging

Our backpacks are packaged in compostable bags and recyclable cardboard boxes.

Even the tape on our boxes is plastic-free (it's brown paper impregnated with a natural rubber) and can be recycled with your standard paper recycling.

Carbon Positive

Through our partnership with Tree Nation, we plant a tree for every order made through our website. This means that we more than offset all shipping and production emissions (including emissions from sending our products to our customers).

We also strive to reduce emissions where we can, including through the use of less energy-consuming recycled materials.
