"Out in force: the rucksack returns resplendent.

You’ll find the two designers behind the brand Francli caught up between salvaged materials and the rugged Cornish coastline at their studio space in Falmouth’s Fish Factory; Franki Basely and Ali Goodman are true artisans set to make outdoor wear desirable again. Through up-cycling and re-appropriating found materials Francli are cutting new shapes in the backpack world, coming up with a collection set to explore untamed woodlands and uncharted surf spots with. The strongest piece from their first collection? The Activity Rucksack, it moulds comfortably across your back and knowing its 100% recycled lets your conscious rest easily too! And finally the best thing about their craft? They design every backpack to meet the needs of each individual, I choose to have a coral red insert, key holder (because finding anything in a girls bag is a nightmare) and padded shoulders to keep comfy on long, feral trips across Cornwall.
