Details
What makes this bag
Material and dimensions
The fabric comes from rice sacks of the kind used in Indian rice mills for 25-kilo loads. After transport the sacks are cut up and sewn into bags. What used to be printed on the sack is now printed on the bag: brand, nutrition facts, cooking instructions.
| Height | 50 cm |
|---|---|
| Width | 40 cm |
| Handle length | 20 cm |
| Material | Woven polypropylene from used rice sacks |
| Weight | about 85 g |
| How to carry | Reversible, both sides |
Use and care
The bag has two faces: turned inside out it shows the other side. With handles of 20 cm it is carried in the hand.
- Wipe with a damp cloth.
- Not for the washing machine and not for the dryer.
- Folded up it takes hardly any space — as a spare bag in your backpack.
- The fabric is sturdy; the print may fade over time.
Why rice sacks
A rice sack is filled once and then thrown away, even though the fabric is tear-resistant and lasts for years. The bag came out of that mismatch: the material gets a second job instead of being discarded.
- The sacks come from Indian rice mills — the prints show the brand, nutrition facts and cooking instructions of the original contents.
- Made by Mani Bhadra.
- We hold no environmental certification for this product. What we can tell you is what it is made of.
Can I choose the colour or the print?
No. The bags come as a mixed assortment and each one is different. The photos show examples, not the piece you will receive — the inside may also be plain.
What does reversible mean?
The bag has two outer sides. You turn it inside out and carry the other side.
How big is it?
50 cm high, 40 cm wide. The handles are 20 cm long, so the bag is carried in the hand.
Isn't this plastic?
It is. Rice sacks are made of woven polypropylene. That is exactly why the fabric is sturdy — and exactly why it is worth reusing a used sack instead of discarding it.
How do I clean it?
Wiping it with a damp cloth is enough. The fabric does not tolerate a washing machine or a dryer.
