Like most other products, backpacks are mainly produced in China. It is not an easy task to find backpacks that do not have the country origin label China or PRC (People Republic of China). To save you time and help you find a backpack that is not made in China, I reviewed the detailed information of more than 300 backpacks and where they were made. I will show you the place of production and prove it with screenshots as well as by quoting certain parts of user reviews, most often from the Amazon site, but also from other sites.
I neither bought nor tried the backpacks individually, I just invested my time in filtering the place of manufacture, because as you know, it is very difficult for many products to find out the place of manufacture. I don’t want to get into the reasons why someone avoids Chinese products, I just want to help with the manual filtering of made in labels.
Let me start with backpacks that are not made in China but in countries such as USA, Italy, Thailand, Portugal, India, Philippines… The exact place of manufacture will be clearly marked with each backpack.
Best Rated Backpacks without Made in China Label
First, I will list some of the backpacks that are made in the USA. Then I will list all the other backpacks as well as their made in labels.
Backpacks designed in Germany and made in India
Just like the aforementioned Utrecht M backpack and other Berliner backpacks, they are designed in Germany and manufactured in India. Now I will show you what other Berliner backpacks and bags options you have besides the mentioned backpack.
Backpacks Made in Italy
There is no doubt that when it comes to fashion and style, the Italians are the champions. The world’s most famous designers are Italians, the headquarters of fashion is in Milan, Italy… Therefore, if you want a quality leather backpack, the label you want to see is MADE IN ITALY.
Are there any not made in China backpacks that cost under $50?
There are millions of different backpacks that cost under 50 dollars, I checked almost all the most popular backpacks in this price range and they are all made in China. Probably almost all low-cost, mass-produced backpacks are made in China. It is very difficult to organize production in the USA or in Europe at the price at which backpacks are produced in China. Therefore, if you want a backpack that does not have a made in China label, then you will have to pay more.
