Men's bags

Waist Bags, Shoulder Bags, and Backpacks for Men

Our bags are made from hemp and cotton, many featuring handwoven ethnic patterns. They are more durable than most fabric bags and look better over the years instead of worse - hemp becomes softer rather than wearing out.

Which Bag for What?

1. Waist bag: also called a belt bag. Everything stays close to your body, and nothing slips around. The safest option at festivals, while dancing, and when traveling.
2. Shoulder bag: for everyday use when you need to carry more than your phone and wallet.
3. Backpack: for longer journeys, hikes, and trips lasting several days.
4. Drawstring bag: lightweight and foldable, for spontaneous outings.

The Festival Waist Bag

If you get only one thing right, make it this. Your phone, cash, ticket, and ID must stay on your body - a backpack ends up in the grass while dancing and eventually disappears.

What to look for:

1. Zipper, not a magnetic closure - it can open when you jump.
2. Wide, adjustable strap, so it also fits over your jacket.
3. Durable material - hemp can withstand significantly more than thin nylon.
4. Multiple compartments, so you do not have to take everything out every time you reach inside.

Why Hemp?

Hemp fibers are among the strongest natural fibers of all. For bags, this means they withstand more than cotton, repel dirt better, and absorb hardly any odors. The plant also requires little water to grow and usually needs no pesticides. Find out more at Hemp Clothing.

All our bags are free from animal-derived materials.

The Patterns

Many bags feature handwoven borders made by the hill tribes of northern Thailand or embroidered details. This means each piece is slightly different - the patterns are created by hand, not printed. Find out more about the origin of the fabrics at Ethnic Clothing.

Care

Do not put them in the washing machine. Brush off coarse dirt when dry; treat stains with a damp cloth and a little soap. Air-dry, and do not place on a radiator.

We design our bags ourselves and produce them with partner family businesses in northern Thailand and Nepal. CO2-neutral shipping, free from 80 euros.
