100% Hemp Hand-Knit Bag (Zipper) - Fair Trade

This unique hemp fiber knit bag, unlike the common jute found in the market, is pesticide-free and earth-friendly. The fiber is strong and naturally colored, left unadorned to retain its rustic, original appearance. The uneven thickness of the fibers means it takes an average of two days to craft one knit tote. The reinforced stitching on the handles ensures durability, suitable for most reasonable weights. Unlike the first generation of knit bags, this version features an inner lining, a small inner pocket, and an external zipper. It's not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides secure storage for your belongings. ▌ Product Dimensions: Bag body 35cm x 33cm, Handle length 30cm (slight variations due to handmade nature) ▌ Origin: Nepal ▌ Material: 100% Natural Hemp Fiber ▌ Care Instructions: Hand wash with cold water and air dry in a cool place. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53350406024_db92c7de2b_h.jpg ▌ About the Material: Hemp fiber, used in our hemp products, comes from "industrial hemp." Compared to cotton, industrial hemp cultivation is more environmentally friendly, requiring minimal water and nutrients to grow, thus consuming less land and water resources. Hemp fiber is known for its strength and durability. It's not only eco-friendly but also a resilient resource, contributing to a more sustainable future. Its cultivation and utilization are encouraged to reduce environmental impact and promote green living. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53350534010_359d42d29c_b.jpg ▌ About Perch棲息文創: Treasures from below the Himalayas: Perch, located on the island of Taiwan, cherishes and appreciates the unique properties of natural fibers, as renewable resources hold special significance for us. We primarily use hemp fiber and bark fiber from the Himalayas, along with wool from New Zealand. Our dyes are derived from the natural beauty gifted by the earth – roots, bark, nuts, leaves, flowers, and mineral pigments extracted from plants. The Opportunity and Connection of Cross-Border Collaboration: Nepal boasts a long history of craftsmanship, with travelers highly valuing the local arts, crafts, and the skills of its artisans. However, traditional crafts are widely fading due to their incompatibility with modern economic models. Therefore, we collaborate with artisans in Nepal, supporting local communities and encouraging traditional craft techniques by providing fair wages. By integrating local and global perspectives under the principles of Fair Trade, we bring Perch's design concepts to life. This is what motivates us to continuously improve, and it's a beautiful journey that every consumer can be a part of. We hope you love our products as much as we do :) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53350096531_ee93852400_b.jpg ▲ In-stock items: Shipped within approximately 1-3 days (excluding holidays). ▲ Pre-order items: Shipped sequentially starting approximately 14-20 days later (excluding holidays). ▲ Important Notes: Each handmade item has a normal range of error and will not be 100% identical like machine-made products.
