Folk-lore Est. 1846 Backpack — Limited Edition Daypack

In 1846, William Thoms coined the term "folk-lore" to replace the stuffy "popular antiquities." He wanted to honor the "lore of the people" - the myths, the legends, the songs passed down through generations. Folklore studies has come a long way since those days; this collection is a nod to the legacy.

This lightweight backpack blends a clean, vintage-inspired logo with thoughtful everyday utility. The soft, padded back and adjustable straps keep shoulders comfortable during long walks between classes, market runs, or town explorations. Several zippered pockets—including an internal sleeve for a tablet or laptop and a side bottle pocket—keep notebooks, maps, and small curiosities organized and within reach. Subtle cut-and-sew markings inside the front pocket lend an honest, handcrafted feel that suits those who favor functional design with a quiet, nostalgic edge. Assembled in the USA from durable, quick-drying polyester, it’s built to travel and age with you.
