Patchwork Kathmandu Tote Bag – Dhaka Design (37x38cm)

A handmade cotton and hemp tote from Nepal with structured patchwork panels — for carrying daily essentials in a bag that holds its shape and tells you exactly how it was made. 37 x 38 cm profile fits A4 notebooks, a tablet, or a slim laptop without folding the corners — practical for work, study, or travel days. Front zip pocket keeps keys, cards, or a phone separate so youre not searching at the bottom of the bag. Flat 2 cm base keeps the bag close to the body and easy to store when not in use. Cotton-hemp blend fabric feels firm in the hand and holds structure better than thin cotton totes. Shoulder-length straps allow it to sit comfortably under the arm or carry by hand when loaded. Materials Origin: Handmade in Nepal by small-scale textile workshops. Fabric: Cotton and hemp blend. The back panel features a natural herringbone weave; the front combines multiple woven textile panels stitched into a structured patchwork layout. Process: Cut and assembled by hand. Individual woven panels are stitched together to form the front design, then lined and finished with reinforced straps and a stitched zipper pocket. Finish: Textured woven surface with visible stitching lines between panels. Natural fibre feel — not coated or laminated. Because the front is made from assorted woven panels, pattern placement and colour combinations vary slightly from piece to piece. This variation is part of the construction method rather than a defect. Usage & Care Designed for everyday carry: books, light groceries, a water bottle, notebook, tablet, scarf, or market finds. The main compartment is open for quick access, with one horizontal zip pocket on the front exterior for smaller items. Avoid overloading with very heavy items to maintain the shape of the straps and seams. Spot clean with a damp cloth. If deeper cleaning is needed, hand wash gently in cold water and air dry flat. Store in a dry place away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve fabric colour. Story & Cultural
