Hemp is one of the oldest and most environmentally friendly textile materials — strong, durable, breathable and requiring far less water to grow than cotton. This Jhari-style hemp crossbody bag comes from Nepal, where the craft of hemp processing has a centuries-long tradition at the foot of the Himalayas. This bag is the perfect meeting of functionality and natural aesthetics.
Hemp and cotton — the strength of two natural materials
The bag combines hemp and cotton — the hemp provides strength and durability, while the cotton contributes softness and comfortable texture. Hemp naturally resists mould and bacteria and does not lose its shape even with long-term use. At 15 x 18 x 5 cm, it provides ample space for daily essentials — phone, keys, wallet and various small items.
The Jhari style
Jhari is a Nepali craft style recognisable by its distinctive approach to weaving and decorating hemp and cotton textiles. Objects in the Jhari style are characterised by the clean, minimal use of natural materials and an organic, understated aesthetic. This style was born from the craft knowledge of mountain communities and continues to live authentically in Nepal today.
Crossbody wearing — comfortable and practical
The crossbody design fastens the bag to the front or side of the body with a strap worn across the shoulder — both hands remain free and the contents are always secure. Ideal for urban walks, day trips, market visits and travel. The natural material and simple design suit a bohemian, nature-loving and minimalist style equally well.
