Not only are the bags hip and stylish, they are made using the direct fabric trade method. Trekking across a foreign land while lugging around a massive backpack can be both strenuous and frustrating. Fortunately, the Ethnotek Bags travel backpack offers a comfortable, fully customizable bag that offers style and comfort. The packs have Threads, a front panel which can be removed and customized at will, creating a new look every time. Also, the Thread material is made using direct fabric trade, ensuring customers that the textile materials come from weavers working in safe and sanitary conditions, with no middleman involved. Not only are these backpacks practical and fashionable, they are made with a social conscience. **Contact Information:** [Ethnotek Website](http://www.ethnotekbags.com) Ethnotek on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/#!/Ethnotekbags) Ethnotek on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/ETHNOTEK) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Customizable Travel Backpacks:** Opportunity to develop personalized and interactive backpack lines - **Direct Fabric Trade Method:** Possibility for ethical sourcing of textiles and contributing to a fairer global trade system - **Socially Conscious Travel Gear:** Scope to create environmentally sustainable and socially responsible travel products ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Apparel:** FashTech companies can leverage technology to make customizable backpacks a new trend in the travel fashion industry - **Environmental Sustainability:** Packaging and waste reduction industries can develop innovative solutions to prevent non-biodegradable product waste - **Social Enterprise:** Entrepreneurs can create a new market segment for socially conscious travel gear that supports ethical manufacturing and worker welfare ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ethical Hemp-Derived Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecofrico.md) - [Stylish Camera-Friendly Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carryfly-travel-backpack.md) - [Amalgamated Adventure Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-hiking-adventure-backpack.md) - [Capaciously Stylish Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-travel-backpacks.md) - [Customizable Expansion Traveler Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nectrum-wingpack.md) - [Consummate Carry-On Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-travel-backpack.md) - [Urbanite EDC Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kifaru-backpacks.md) - [Versatile 30L Travel Back Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/30l-travel-pack.md) - [Contemporary Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bis-classic-backpack.md)
