Hemp is the central theme in this satchel used for both the functional lining and the distinctive decorative fringe. The embellishments represent a diverse assembly of cut-work appliqué, freehand satin-stich, and counted cross-stich embroidery. The indigo-striped hemp lining has been woven on a back-strap loom, from homegrown hemp harvested after the seeds have matured, hence the rustic quality of 10 x 7 threads/cm.
