Textured hemp and cotton give this backpack a quiet, grounded presence, with turmeric yellow, deep teal and natural cream panels held in a clean, boxy shape. The surface looks tactile rather than glossy, with woven variation that suits a slower, more relaxed way of dressing. Boxy shape with visible storage The front is divided into two zipped sections, creating a structured look rather than a soft slouch. A deep teal lower pocket sits across the front, framed by black zip tape and pale edging. The upper turmeric panel has a second vertical zip, adding an asymmetric detail to the square front. Side pockets are visible in the same warm turmeric fabric, tucked neatly into the side seams. Black shoulder straps and metal zip fittings give contrast to the natural fibre panels. Hemp, cotton and metal details Made from cotton and hemp, with metal fittings, it has the dry, woven texture associated with natural-fibre bags. The pale side panels show a subtle herringbone-style weave, while the teal and turmeric sections have a rougher, slubbed surface. Colour and surface The palette is earthy but clear: deep teal at the front, turmeric yellow above and at the sides, and light natural cotton tones around the edges. Black trim outlines the zips and straps, keeping the shape crisp. Care for the natural fibres Keep the fabric away from prolonged damp and let it air dry naturally if it gets wet. Brush off surface dust gently, and spot clean with care rather than soaking the whole bag. Natural-fibre bags from Nepal This piece comes from Nepal and sits within SHAMTAM’s Pure Hemp and Cotton Bags range. Hemp has a long textile history, especially for practical woven goods, and cotton brings a softer familiarity to the mix. Here, the appeal is visual and tactile: natural fibres, visible weave, grounded colour and a shape that feels relaxed without looking unfinished. Size and details Weight: 506 g. Materials: cotton, hemp and metal fittings. Country of origin: Nepal. A thoughtful gift A good choice for someone who likes natural textures, earthy colour and practical objects with a softer, more handmade-looking character. The teal and turmeric palette makes it feel more personal than a plain everyday bag. Common questions Is the fabric plain or textured? The visible fabric is textured, with a woven, slubbed surface on the coloured panels and a subtler patterned weave on the pale side sections. Does it have metal fittings? Yes. The verified materials include metal fittings, and the visible zip pulls appear metallic.
