WAYKS, the perfect and sustainable travel backpack
Wayks is a sister-brother company developing solutions to transform consumption for the better. During a time of stressful work in fast fashion and digital startups we had regularly had the urge to escape to the peaceful outdoors to recharge.
In their work environments, they were exposed to massive warehouses piled high with cheap clothing, an ever-increasing order & return shopping culture and ruthless, short-sighted business practices.
Their thoughts translated into their first product, the WayksOne: A timeless, modular travel backpack that transforms into different bags.
These are some of the amazing backpack models from WAYKS!

Materials
The majority of our materials are made from recycled PET bottles. We use a PFC-free, environmentally friendly water-repellency coating on our fabrics.
The difference between our fabrics is mainly in the look and feel. Our first fabric (Black and Sand variants) has a rather natural, canvas-like look. It feels thinner.
In the Sleek Black variant, the fabric has a smooth look. It feels a little thicker and rubbery.
The Sleek Black is a little easier to clean due to its smooth texture and water rolls off more easily - on the other hand, it is more prone to superficial scratches and dents or cuts, which remain visible in the long term on such smooth fabrics.
Main Fabric
- 100% Polyester (91% recycled, 100% for the Sleek Black version)
- 600 x 600 Denier
- PFC-free coating (outside) and PU coating (inside) for waterproofing
- Sourced from bluesign® System Partner
