Crys Backpack
CRYS [pronounced ‘crease’] means ‘shirt’ in Welsh, and that’s exactly what this lightweight accessory is intended to be up-cycled from.
This exciting and sustainable pattern celebrates the garment’s original design features including a carry handle refashioned from the collar and adjustable straps that utilise your button stands!
