The Menos Backpack - Ocean
🌳 Plant one tree and collect 100 ocean-bound plastic bottles with this purchase. We also donate 10% of profits from Ocean Edition backpacks to The Marine Conservation Society 🌳
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.

180° opening
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
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!
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.
Sustainability #1
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.
Sustainability #2
10% of profits to the Marine Conservation Society
We're committed to donating 10% of profits from sales of Menos Ocean Edition backpacks to The Marine Conservation Society.
The Marine Conservation Society is a UK-based charity fighting for a cleaner, better protected and healthier ocean.
