Manufacturer's Description
Introducing our innovative line of vegan leather backpacks, where sustainability meets style. In collaboration with Powell Artist Andrea “Fluterscooter” Fisher, and crafted with a commitment to eco-conscious practices, our backpacks redefine luxury by offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional leather goods. Sourced from Italy and made from high contents of plant-based raw materials (grape leftovers from winemaking, vegetal oils and natural fibers from agriculture), our backpacks boast a remarkable blend of durability and sophistication. The unique properties of the plant based bio-compound ensure a bag this is not only stylish but also stands the test of time, all while minimizing environmental impact. Designed by Powell Flutes, made by Fluterscooter.
About Powell
In 1916, Verne Powell joined the Wm. S. Haynes Company to make wooden flutes and piccolos. By 1926, he was the shop foreman and was running much of the business at Haynes; later that year, he left Haynes to make his own flutes and Verne Q. Powell Flutes, Inc. was incorporated.
The instruments were immediately recognized as the very best a flutist could play and endorsements flowed in from flutists around the globe. In 1928, he completed his first all 14K Gold flute; soon piccolos and alto flutes were added. By 1930 the brand had representation in the Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Baltimore, and New York Orchestras. There were flutes which had a life of their own; #365 the “World’s Fair” Platinum flute of William Kincaid, #900 the only flute ever made entirely of 14K White Gold, #1142 the “Signature” Flute.
In 2016 Verne Q. Powell Flutes, Inc. was purchased by Buffet Crampon, joining nine other brands of wind instruments to complete the largest group of wind instrument manufacturers in the world.
