The Banff Bag
Reviewed By You

“This bag was purchased in 2011 and has served me well for those 8 years. It has held up well under all circumstances; from being overloaded with items, to sitting in the rain and has followed me where it's needed.”

Very glad Roots is still making these in Toronto. Price is worth it & you support local craftsmen. You get a great product — it will last me decades.

The quality of Roots bags is always superb. I know this will give me joy for many years to come.

Our Materials

We are being more mindful of the impact we have on our planet, thus more intentional with our materials. The iconic Cooper Collection is now made with a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester.

Organic agriculture contributes significantly to the maintenance of biodiversity. This cotton is farmed with no harmful pesticides which helps sustain the health of ecosystems, soil and people. This helps us create a future where we can continue to grow and harvest cotton without harming the world, we live in.

Recycled Polyester is commonly made from recycled bottles, which gives them a greener endgame than going to a landfill. Utilizing Recycled Polyester instead of Virgin Polyester uses less energy, water and CO2.

We use these icons on our products, so you have the comfort of knowing what they’re made with.
