A cotton canvas drawstring backpack with a blue bohemian mandala print and a contrasting burlap base, the kind of bag that looks at home slung over one shoulder at a weekend market or tucked under an arm on a slow afternoon walk. The mandala pattern gives it a quiet, considered character: geometric and symmetrical, with the kind of detail that rewards a second look.

    It is beautiful but I would have placed the closure link in front and the button system is not great

About this product

What catches the eye
  • The mandala print sits against a blue ground, its concentric geometry drawing the eye inward, a pattern rooted in South Asian textile and devotional art traditions, where the mandala form represents wholeness and balance.
  • The burlap base panel adds texture and contrast, grounding the printed canvas in something more tactile and earthy.
  • The drawstring closure pulls the bag shut at the top, keeping the opening flexible and the silhouette relaxed rather than structured.
  • At 290 g, it sits lightly on the back, easy to forget you're wearing it on a longer outing.
Cotton canvas and burlap

The body is cotton canvas, a plain-weave fabric that holds a printed pattern cleanly and softens gradually with use. The base panel is burlap, a coarser, open-weave jute textile that adds durability where the bag takes the most wear. The two materials sit well together: one smooth and printed, the other rough-textured and natural.

Carrying it

The drawstring doubles as the carry system, looping over both shoulders in the traditional backpack style or gathered and held in one hand. It is a simple, unstructured carry, suited to lighter loads rather than heavy daily commuting. The relaxed format works well for a farmers' market run, a festival, a beach day, or as a reusable bag for gifts and produce.

Care

Wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not wring or tumble dry. Dry flat or in the shade, and if ironing is needed, press on the reverse of the printed panel on a moderate setting. Check the care label on your bag for any specific guidance.

Made in India

This bag comes from India, a country with one of the world's longest traditions of printed cotton textiles. Block-printing and screen-printing on cotton have been practised across Rajasthan and Gujarat for centuries, and the mandala, a Sanskrit word meaning 'circle', has been a central motif in Indian decorative art, architecture and devotional practice for just as long. On a bag like this, it carries that visual heritage lightly, as pattern rather than symbol, though the geometry is no less considered for it.

Common questions

Is this bag suitable for everyday commuting?
The drawstring format is best for lighter, casual use, a change of clothes, a book, a water bottle, a few market finds. It is not structured for heavy loads or laptop carrying.
Can I wash it at home?
A gentle hand-wash in cool water is the safe approach for a printed cotton canvas. Always check the care label on your specific bag before washing.
