Hak JungleVine® Tote Bags, named after the Lao word for love, are dyed a solid dark color we call "soa". Soa can vary from shades of gray to black. This look is SHARP. Available in both shoulder strap and crossbody strap lengths, Hak style bags are remarkably durable. You can expect to get years of use as a reusable shopping bag, overnighter, messenger bag, beach bag, or hobo bag.
Khmu artisans in remote villages across Laos hand-make these bags using fiber from a fast-growing vine that grows wild--without any cultivation. It is the ultimate in eco-friendly, carbon-negative fibers. JungleVine® fiber, from the plant Pueraria phaseoloides, is so environmentally friendly that is is Better than Hemp™. Every facet of bag-making, from spinning and dying the fiber to tying the bags and weaving the straps, is done by hand at home. The entire process is carbon neutral and the gentlest form of manufacturing on Earth.

The bag's size adds to the drop length, so suitable crossbody lengths vary based on the bag's size. For example, an 88 cm strap works well for crossbody on an XL bag, but it is too short for crossbody on a M bag. See strap lengths illustrated.
These bags are stretchy and super strong. See carrying capacity illustrated.
