Our very popular backpack! Made of high-quality denim with an eye-catching patch of hand-made cross-stitch and rare hand-made hemp batik fabric. High on convenience and style.
Zippered pocket at the back, buttoned-down flap with decorative patch, another zippered pocket under flap, zippered main compartment, and more pockets and flaps inside, enough to keep you well-organized. Extremely sturdy, yet comfortable back-straps. Additional handy short strap on top, so you can also use it as a carry-bag.
Our customers find it perfect as a gym bag or just a perfect, stylish bag that goes everywhere with them!
Since the patch is hand-made, there are slight differences in colors and designs, but will be pretty close to the pictures here (red, brown, pink (few), dark, and the ever-popular salmon are now back in stock). Hemp batik is blue-and-white for all of them.
Bag measures 17" high and 14" wide, approximately. Each strap is 15.5" long.
