This bag is hand knitted with raw hemp grown by the Hmong tribe in Northern Thailand. It is dyed in Japan and Singapore with kaki shibu, using persimmons grown in the mountains of Kyoto. It is dyed and aged under the sun for a period of time. It might feel a little stiff initially but it will soften after time and use. Please hand wash it gently in warm water, using mild detergent. Be aware of acidic substances such as vinegar or citrus fruits as they may cause discoloration.
