Mother Nature provides yet another inspiration for things that we could use everyday. The Pangolin Backpack is modeled after, you guessed it, the pangolin. That mammal has plates that protect them as they curl up when threatened. The bag is no threat to your well-being or to your possessions however. The bag is made of overlapping sliding parts that are attached together with recycled parts made of the inner tubes of truck tires. And when you buy the bag, you’ll help with the socially-disadvantaged people of Colombia. Helping can be fun and you’ve got a unique bag too! ~$290.
