Charitable Book Bag Designs

Backpacks with a Purpose Offers Customers a Charitable Alternative

— October 9, 2012 — Social Good
BWAP (Backpacks with a Purpose) is a little company that gives away two backpacks for every backpack you buy. The company has been working with food banks and non-profits for over ten years and just launched a retail line so that it can give more.

Beautiful and functional, these backpacks have water-resistant zippers throughout. As well, they feature a padded laptop sleeve, internal organization sleeve and pockets, mesh water bottle pockets on both sides and rubberized thumb grip zipper pulls. Not sacrificing quality for good intentions, this design ensures that customers get a good quality product while helping out a good cause.

The backpacks are priced at only $40, and have a classic backpack design and comfy padded straps.
