Undyed hemp canvas left in its natural oatmeal colour, with a mushroom scene built directly onto the front panel. Caps are cut from dyed cotton and appliqued down, then outlined and detailed in dense satin stitch, so the design has real physical relief rather than sitting flat on the surface.
The natural ground is deliberate. It lets the applique carry the colour and keeps the bag wearable with everything.

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.
