Tan with off-white and gray stripes and cream accents.

Each Bending Gems bag is unique and one-of-a-kind.

This bag is hand constructed using fabric by the Karen or Karian ethnic group of Thailand and Burma. This fabric is hand woven on a traditional, back-strap loom with cotton colored using natural, organic, vegetable dyes. The woven handles are vegetable tanned leather, hand cut, hand waxed, and hand styled. All bag corner edges have been hand wrapped in cream cotton threading and the middle seams closed using the traditional Karen roof & house stitch (the stitch that looks like an "X" with a line on top and bottom).

The inside of the bag is 100% cotton with both an open toss pocket and a zippered pocket. To continue with the tribal feel of the bag, we used a yoke and leather drawstring closure and not a zipper which would take away from the handmade/all-natural/jungle feel. You can use the bag with the drawstring open and the yoke tucked into the bag or pull it closed for added security.

The cotton and leather dream catcher on the front of the bag is attached only by knotting the leather ties and you can move it or remove it as you wish.

Dimensions: With the bag flat on the ground and the sides and bottom expanded to their full width/height, it measures 20 inches wide at the top and x 12 inches in height. The square panel making up the front of the bag is 10 inches wide by 12 inches tall. Each bag may vary slightly in these dimensions.

The item is new but some anomalies and aberrations in handwoven, jungle village items are normal and should be expected.
