Luma
Luma is a backpack made using a patented 3D knitting process that reduces material waste and simplifies production. Unlike traditional cut and sew methods, this approach produces fully shaped components directly from digital patterns with minimal waste and labor. The backpack is constructed from single strands of 100% pre-consumer recycled nylon, helping to lower energy use, emissions, and material waste. Luma's design is informed by nature and aims to offer a balance of function and sustainability through a streamlined minimalistic form.
Luma Backpack by Colin Heston was recognized as an outstanding illustration of fashion design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Luma Backpack received the Bronze A' Design Award in Fashion and Travel Accessories Design in 2025. The A' Fashion and Travel Accessories Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design competition that recognizes exceptional design of handbags, scarves, belts, luggage, hats, travel bags, cravats, gloves, wallets and more.
