This shopping bag is a beautiful example of the „waste to value” category: Nepalese seamstresses cut and sew recycled rice sacks, so each bag is reborn from a piece of former rice packaging. The 39 × 38 cm size is a comfortable choice for market shopping, carrying books and small items, or simply for everyday use.
Vintage Character and Unique Pattern
Because the source material once served as rice packaging, the surface may show vintage wear marks, faint inscriptions and creases. These are not defects but parts of the bag's history – every piece arrives with a different appearance, and this is what makes it special.
Durable and Lightweight
The PVC material of the rice sacks was originally designed to carry large quantities of goods during transport. This property remains in the bag: strong, tear-resistant and water-resistant, yet light. The 20 cm long handles are comfortable to hold by hand or on the shoulder.
Environmentally Conscious Choice
The bag is both a practical and a conscious choice. A recycled rice sack gets a new life, reducing the amount of waste while you receive a durable, useful item. It also provides a livelihood for Nepalese artisans.
Size and Practical Details
The bag is 39 cm wide, 38 cm high, with 20 cm long handles. This size is spacious enough to hold a week's vegetables, a few books or a laptop, yet remains compact, so it takes up little space when folded.
What to Consider Before Buying
The pattern and colour cannot be chosen in advance – due to the nature of the source material, every piece is different. Some bags may have a plain black or other dark-toned interior, which is a natural part of the recycling process. If you insist on a specific colour, consider purchasing several pieces.
