Nettle & Hemp Bags
Simple, functional designs that highlight the strength and texture of nettle and hemp fibers.
Curious about the material? Nettle is one of the most durable and sustainable fibers we work with—and it’s not one most people are familiar with.
Why nettle?
Nettle grows wild in the Himalayan region and requires no cultivation, irrigation, or chemicals. The fibers are harvested, processed, and woven entirely by hand—resulting in a textile that is both strong and naturally textured.
Wild-harvested fiber
Nettle grows wild in the Himalayan region—harvested where it naturally thrives, without irrigation or chemicals. No farming required.
Hand-Processed
From fiber to finished textile, each step is done by hand—harvested, spun, and woven or crocheted using traditional techniques.
Low environmental impact
Because it grows wild and is processed by hand, nettle has a relatively low environmental footprint.
Naturally strong and durable
Nettle fibers are known for their strength, making them well-suited for everyday use.
