The gentleman who made it for me is an excellent tailor whom I had the pleasure of meeting on my overland travels throughout asia. Both the hemp material, and the workmanship are of very high quality. The inside of the purse and the strap are lined for a soft feel, and all of the seams are well stitched for maximum durability and long lasting use. This particular style has one large main pouch that closes with two(2) secure zippers. Behind this pouch is a smaller un-zippered pocket, and in front of it is a third zippered(1) pocket. The flap covers all of the pockets and secures shut with two wooden bobbles. This handbag style measures approximately 8" high x 9" wide and is approximately 3.5" deep from front to back. The strap is adjustable to a maximum length of about 52". An excellent compact style hemp purse handmade in the himalayan kingdom of Nepal brought to you from Hither & Yon...
There are many styles of hemp handbags listed in Hither & Yon's ebay store, each of which is handmade. Because of this, and due to the changing hemp crop from year to year, each individual bag is farily unique and can have a different look and texture to it (if you see a listing in our store with quantity 2 or more, it means that they were made at the same time and are identical)
The embroidery is beautiful! It is the sacred syllable, OM...Om is the sacred syllable venerated since ancient times by Buddhists, Brahmins, and Hindus alike. The universe is said to have begun with this sound, and all the sounds of life are said to be contained within it. Om is thus considered the "breath of all life", and often regarded as too holy to be spoken aloud. In this embroidery, the sacred symbol, Om, is embroidered within a mandala. Mandalas are circular diagrams that act as microcosms for larger concepts, such as one's own life or the universe. They are widely used as meditation aids in Vajrahyana Buddhism or tantra.
