This backpack is hand woven in natural fique fiber, on a vertical loom. It is the perfect all-season backpack to accompany you wherever you may go! 

Made from the sustainable and eco-friendly fique plant in Curiti, Colombia. The fique plant and creation process have a story worth telling. Fique was traditionally and widely used to weave carry satchels in Colombia and other South American countries until the introduction of, unfortunately, plastics came in the later half of the 20th century. The communities that grew and processed the Fique fiber were almost put out of business but were luckily able to pivot their production into new sustainable pieces for everyday use. This tote bag is one of those pieces. We see it as a celebration of the importance of sustainability and longevity. 

Remove spots or stains with a damp cloth and soap dabbing the stain/spot with the cloth. Repeat this process until clean and let air dry.

15.5" wide x 16.5" tall x 15" deep. Back Strap length is 27"
