Identical construction to our green sling, cut in a warm brick red hemp herringbone shot through with cream. The triangular body holds flat against the back, and the single padded strap adjusts long enough to wear across the chest or short at the shoulder.
The red dye is applied to the yarn before weaving rather than to finished cloth, so the colour runs all the way through and softens rather than patches as the bag ages.

About the hemp
Nepali hemp grows in the hills without irrigation, fertiliser or pesticide. It is cut, retted in river water, stripped, spun by hand and woven on treadle looms. The cloth starts stiff and turns soft and supple after a season of use, and it resists mildew and abrasion far better than cotton.
