reCharkha's Upcycled Handcrafted Messenger Bag is a compact, versatile everyday bag that can be carried in different ways. Wear it as a crossbody sling with the long adjustable strap, shorten the strap to carry it as an arm bag, or use it as a compact tote for everyday outings.

Its size makes it useful when you want something smaller than a full-sized tote but more functional than a basic sling bag. It can be used for shopping, travel, commuting or everyday carrying, while the additional flap gives the bag a more structured and polished look.

Designed for Versatile Carrying

The adjustable cotton strap lets you change the way you carry the bag according to the occasion. Use the longer strap for hands-free crossbody carry or shorten it to carry the bag closer to your body as an arm bag.

  • Dimensions: 10 × 3.5 × 8.5 inches
  • Capacity: 3–4 kg
  • Handle: Adjustable cotton strap, up to 60 inches
  • Closure: Metal zipper with additional flap
  • Internal Storage: One main zippered compartment, two open pockets and one key holder
  • Lining: Cotton fabric
  • Use: Messenger bag, crossbody sling bag, small tote, arm bag, travel bag and everyday shopping bag

One Bag, Multiple Ways to Carry

The Messenger Bag is designed to adapt to different occasions. Carry it as a crossbody sling bag when you want to keep your hands free, shorten the strap for an arm bag, or carry it as a compact tote.

Its compact size makes it suitable for carrying everyday essentials without the bulk of a larger bag.

Made from Upcycled Waste Plastic

The outer material is made from Upcycled Waste Plastic Bags and Wrappers, transformed into a functional messenger bag through reCharkha's handcrafted process.

Each Messenger Bag upcycles approximately 40 Plastic Bags and Wrappers and generates approximately 2 days of livelihood for Rural Women and Artisans.

Handcrafted by Rural Women and Artisans

Each Messenger Bag is handcrafted by Rural Women and Artisans. Variations in color, pattern and finish may occur because of the recovered material and handmade process. No two are exactly alike.

Available in unisex colors, it can be used by anyone looking for a compact and versatile everyday bag.

Testimonials

My dearest akka/sister @abiramieramalingam got me this beautiful up-cycled polybag. She always surprises me with cool stuff from small. Likewise, I received this lovely bag from her for which she explained the whole process to me and the fam. I was awestruck by their motive and the effort behind this entire idea. Much appreciated. It has been my go to go bag for my travel as it is very handy, soft and I could fit a whole world inside just like Mary Poppins:)
Thanks again to Abiiii for this shimmeringly beautiful colour!
Cheers and the very best to more creative environment friendly work to the team PS: I got this bag in the year 2017 and still flaunting it all time every time flying around with me..

Beautiful looking products and upcycled products! Makes one feel good for doing your little bit for environment!

Aarti

Awesome upcycled products from waste plastic covers. They not only bring awareness about how to reduce plastics, but also give full time employment to workers who weave these plastics into bags in the traditional way. We can support by buying their products and sending them our cleaned and dried plastic covers.

Sometime in July I contacted reCharkha asking if they would customize a product for me. And they said yes. This bag arrived a few days ago. Yes, it took a while but it is so worth it. This bag is sturdy just as I wanted I will use it to carry food for the community dogs I feed is sustainable it is made from recycled plastic enabled 2 to 3 days of livelihood

Please do switch to sustainable products to help protect our planet so we can pass on a clean & green planet to our children. Thank you reCharkha! A special thank you to Sayli for her hard work in ensuring this product turned out just right!

Hi Amita. This is Heena here from Bangalore I was in a need of a sling bag. I was on lookout for it on various Ecommerce sites but for some reason I was not liking them. On one fine day I was just scrolling through Facebook and I came across Anuj's video on upcycling of plastic into bags. I watched the video. I immediately headed to Instagram to check out the patterns & colours of the bags. I couldn't resist for a moment . I went a head, selected the sling bag and placed the order. I have finally received . I'm soooooo satisfied with the product Amita. It's soo spacious. And it was packed so well. I'm sooo overwhelmed Amita. I'm short of words to express how proud I feel to carry this bag which is upcycled from plastic.

U are doing a fantastic job!

Heena

Thanks a lot to Amita and her team for such amazing response to my demand. I wanted few items ASAP as I wanted to gift them to a friend who was flying abroad in 2days. Amita and Sayli were so kind to get everything arranged and couriered it to my place super fast and with top priority. Amita has always been very kind. I really appreciate all your efforts. You guys are doing a wonderful job. Thank you so much.
