DULUTH, Minn. – Cirrus Aircraft has a new production – but not an airplane.

They’re launching a collection of handcrafted, aviation-inspired travel bags.

Cirrus is utilizing upcycled parachute material repurposed from the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®).

Each item is hand-built in Duluth by Duluth Pack.

The inner lining is cut individually by hand from Cirrus parachute canopies and then layered with canvas over the upcycled parachute lining.

Cirrus and Duluth Pack bags are both made in the United States with headquarters in Duluth, Minn.

The Cirrus Parachute-Lined Collection includes:

Cirrus Duffel with Parachute Lining: Industrial-grade construction, dual side-zip pockets and ample capacity for weekend gear.
Logbook Briefcase with Parachute Lining: Sleek and durable, ideal for carrying flight logs, documents or a tablet.
Pilot Overnighter Bag with Parachute Lining: Compact and designed for versatility with space for toiletries, shoes, a headset and a laptop.

Cirrus parachutes used in the lining are composed of Kevlar, Nylon and Vectran cordage.
