Why Fair Trade

At Pakt, we take responsibility for how our gear impacts the people who use it, the people who make it, and the planet that sustains us all.

That’s why we’ve stepped up our commitment to ethical production by producing all our bags in a Fair Trade Certified™ Factory.

This wasn’t just about meeting a standard. It’s about living our mission of creating responsibly made travel gear that our community can feel proud to carry.

Fair Trade Certification is a cornerstone of our broader vision: to empower workers, minimize our environmental impact, and raise the bar for the entire travel industry. For us, it’s not just about making bags—it’s about making a difference.

When you choose a Fair Trade Certified™ product, you’re doing more than buying a high-quality item. You’re making a conscious choice to be part of the solution—actively helping eliminate poverty, create shared value for workers and communities, and promote sustainability. Your support of Fair Trade Certified™ goods helps improve livelihoods, protect the environment, and ensure fair compensation for those who bring our products to life.

What being Fair Trade means

Being a Fair Trade Certified™ Factory means that every step of the production process meets strict, rigorous standards. Here’s what that looks like:

At our Fair Trade Certified™ Factory, these principles translate into real, meaningful change—providing workers with the dignity and resources they deserve, while fostering a culture of respect and opportunity.

Every time you purchase a Fair Trade Certified™ product, you improve workers' lives, support sustainable practices, and invest in the growth of entire communities.
