Rolltop Backpack | Fire Patchwork | American boro | Zero Waste | Up-Cycled Nylon Backpack | Day Pack | Made in USA
The Moonrise Project puts the sustainability message of Diamond Brand Gear into action. The fabric for our American Boro and Rescue series was originally destined for the landfill before we found it and re-purposed it into something new and beautiful!
We are very happy to introduce our new Rolltop Backpack. We love the design of this pack because it fuses simplicity and functionality into one rugged and American-made piece of gear. We've given a lot of thought to the internal construction of the pack in order to accentuate its clean lines, both inside and out. Additionally, we've dug deep into our inventory and are using some of our best new old stock metal hardware.
The theme for this run of Rolltop Backpacks is the element of fire. We've grouped our scrap materials together into shades of reds, oranges, and yellows and then stitched them together using our "American boro" technique to create an abstract patchwork* that evokes a powerful element that's also fun to hang out around when you're camping - fire!
And as with our other products, all of the webbing and hardware is new old stock left over from our contract manufacturing - we get to dig around in several decades worth of inventory to find the coolest stuff that we can and then give it new life.

-About Us-
In 1881 Diamond Brand Gear first came to the heart of the Smokey Mountains. During this time, sewing and craft were a dominant aspect of daily life in Asheville. We got our start in a small, defunct hosiery mill that quickly turned into a thriving factory. When the textile industry began to offshore their facilities, we made it our mission to revive the art of sewing and keep production in the USA. We are committed to the preservation of craftsmanship, the formation of a greener economy, and the creation of durable goods that enhance the experience of all adventurers. Thus the Moonrise Project was born to help elevate our scraps and help the world through Reclaiming, Reusing, and Recreating.
