Gym bag made of handwoven hemp (string bag)

MADE IN NEPAL
This bag is a firm favorite with the Himal Hemp unicorns. The outer layer is made of durable, handwoven, and waxed hemp, the inner layer of hemp-cotton fabric, with a thin layer of synthetic fleece in between for splash protection. The current version is vegan and therefore does away with the buttons that were previously made of recycled, but animal-derived, material.

Width: approx. 37 cm
Height approx. 42 cm
Care instructions: Wash at 30°C. Iron inside out. Do not tumble dry.
Material: handwoven hemp (outer layer), synthetic fleece, hemp-cotton fabric (inner layer)

+++ Raw materials from organic farming +++

We use not only organic hemp, but also wild-grown hemp, which thrives entirely without herbicides and pesticides, is harvested by simple farmers on their land, and used as medicine for their livestock. The hemp fibers are then transported to our partner company for further processing, where all remaining production steps, from spinning and weaving to growing and washing, are carried out to create the final product.

+++ Fair & Social +++

This product is manufactured in Nepal in a factory that processes hemp from fiber to finished product. This factory is committed to training its workers, supporting them in case of family illness, and providing childcare. Production in Nepal costs about one-fifth of the retail price in Europe, which must also cover export, import, sales, and tax costs. Product development, technical documentation, quality assurance, design, and marketing (including product photography) are currently handled entirely by volunteers supporting the HIMAL HEMP project.
Himal Hemp's entire concept is based on fair and socially responsible value creation and aims to enable as many people as possible in Nepal to live a life of dignity through their own work. While we are still too small to have our production certified at affordable costs, we document the entire production process and work directly with the workers. In Nepal, this direct and personal approach is currently the only way to produce under appropriate working conditions, pay fair wages, and ensure quality. Nevertheless, we are continuously working to improve working conditions there.

+++ Resource-efficient +++

The hemp comes from Nepal and is processed there into the final product. We use wild hemp, which requires no pesticides or herbicides. The inside is made of unbleached and undyed hemp-cotton fabric. The button is made in Nepal from waste materials (bones).

+++ Vegan +++

This product contains absolutely no animal-derived ingredients.
