Flower of Life Hemp Backpack with Laptop Sleeve

The Flower of Life hemp backpack is handmade in Nepal from hemp and cotton. Its front carries the Flower of Life, a pattern of evenly interlocking circles that stands for connection and the cycle of life in many cultures.

It is made for everyday use and accompanies you and your laptop to work, to your studies and on your travels.

The Flower of Life is a geometric pattern of circles of equal size. The centre of each circle lies on the circumference of its neighbours, creating an even lattice of six-petalled blossoms.

Circle patterns of this kind have appeared in many cultures since antiquity. The name "Flower of Life", however, is of more recent origin.

Today the pattern is understood as a symbol of connection, harmony and the cycle of life: each circle stands on its own and is at the same time linked to all the others. The Flower of Life belongs to no single religion or tradition.

Adjust the straps so that the backpack sits close to your back. Pack heavy items as close to your back as possible so the weight is evenly distributed.

The inner sleeve holds laptops up to 13 inches. The front zip pocket has room for keys, wallet or phone, and the two open side pockets suit things you want close at hand.

The backpack is well suited to everyday city life, the commute to work or university, and day trips.

As each backpack is made by hand, slight variations in colour and pattern are possible.

Light marks are best cleaned on the spot with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. If a more thorough clean is needed, empty all compartments and wash the backpack by hand in cold water with a mild detergent. Wash it separately, as natural fibres can release colour. Let it air dry, not in a tumble dryer and not in direct sunlight, so the colours last. Hemp and cotton are not waterproof. In heavy rain, a rain cover is the best protection.
