Customer Reviews
This is our second Terra Thread Mini Backpack (my oldest has used the gray one for 3 years and we just purchased the lavender one for my youngest). I was searching for daycare/school gear that was ethically made and sustainable. We've been very happy with this backpack. It's thick, very durable canvas, the zippers are sturdy, the straps are a comfortable width, and the color stay true after multiple washes (w/ air drying). A standard documents folder easily fits in the pack. We also carry in it daily a small nap blanket, water bottle, poncho, school supplies and small accessories. I will continue to buy Terra Thread bags and highly recommend them!
I love this little backpack. It’s a great size for day trips, outings and just using around town when a larger backpack is too much. It’s sturdy and comfortable and I love that it’s cotton and totally plastic-free. Great color too. I only wish the interior pocket zipped.
Ordered this mini backpack and was super happy with the quality of the fabric and the zippers! It washes well and air dries quickly! Also happy with the green color! And it looks super cute! Yay!!!
It’s such a vibrant color turquoise, beautiful lightweight but sturdy canvas. I bought separately the matching color pencil case. It’s so perfect for me for college when I’m not carrying too much around. Otherwise I have the bigger Terra Thread backpack too and love it. The environmental consciousness of the brand appeals to me, but also how functional yet simplistic their well stitched heavy duty canvas products are. I feel like I can make them last years and years, but they look good too. :)
Shipping was crazy fast and once I got the bag you could feel the difference in quality compared to others. I would definitely recommend this for someone who doesn’t like to carry around purses !
