crackpacs are individually handmade in a small Sheffield studio by a skilled maker, and the process is savoured and enjoyed.

The old items are carefully taken apart and re-made to ensure that our bags are as practical and high quality as newly manufactured bags.

crackpacs are sold locally in shops, at festivals and online via our website, delivered by our homemade Tuk Tuk whenever possible, but mostly by Royal Mail.

crackpacs reach their new owners to be re-loved and taken on new adventures.

Therefore, it seems natural that crackpacs should also feed into the much bigger ecosystem in some way and support others doing good for the planet. Currently, 50p from every sale goes to charities that are experienced in supporting people and/or the environment, but we aim to do more in the future.
