New Mexico Backpack

Carry the spirit of the Southwest wherever you go with the New Mexico Backpack, inspired by the bold and sacred design of the New Mexico state flag. The golden field with a deep red Zia sun symbol reflects the unique cultural fusion of Native American and Spanish heritage that defines the Land of Enchantment. The Zia symbol, originating from the Zia Pueblo, represents the sun and the sacred number four — the four directions, four seasons, four times of day, and four stages of life — all centered around the circle of life and unity.

Crafted from durable spun polyester, this lightweight (1.3 lbs) backpack perfectly balances practicality and heritage. Its spacious main compartment and adjustable shoulder straps make it ideal for school, travel, or everyday adventures under the Southwestern sun. A sewn-in name tag adds a thoughtful detail, while the vivid flag-inspired print makes it an unmistakable nod to New Mexico’s radiant identity.
