KitePride is more than just a bag brand - it’s a movement for second chances. KitePride is a nonprofit fashion brand with a social and eco-friendly mission. Since 2017, we’ve been designing and producing high-quality bags made from upcycled materials.
At our partner production facilities, we create unique laptop backpacks, laptop sleeves, shoulder bags, pouches, and packing cubes from high-quality recycled materials. With every product you purchase, you help save valuable materials from the landfill and support safe, fair jobs for people facing adversity.
