FAQs
Is the backpack waterproof?
No, it is made from natural organic cotton and is not treated with waterproofing agents. It is best to avoid heavy rain.
Can I fit a laptop inside?
This bag is designed for essentials and does not have a padded compartment for laptops. It is generally too small and unprotected for most laptops.
What does GOTS certified mean?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) ensures the organic status of textiles, covering everything from harvesting to social and environmental responsibility.
How large is the bag exactly?
The bag measures 41cm in length and 37cm in width, with a total volume capacity of 8 litres.
Can I wash this in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can cause the natural cotton to shrink or lose its shape; spot cleaning is the preferred maintenance method.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is sticking or difficult to pull
Ensure the fabric surrounding the eyelets is not bunched up and verify that the cord is not twisted inside the hem.
Staining on the fabric
Gently dab the affected area with a mixture of mild detergent and cold water; avoid harsh scrubbing which may fray the organic cotton fibers.
Adjustable strap slipping
Check the buckle hardware for debris and ensure the strap is threaded correctly to provide maximum friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the backpack is straightforward; simply adjust the shoulder strap to your preferred length before loading your items. When loading the bag, place heavier items at the bottom to maintain balance.
Because the product is made from natural cotton, proper care is essential to maintain its integrity:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing to prevent shrinkage or damage to the natural fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Load limit: Avoid overstuffing beyond the 8-litre capacity to prevent stress on the drawcord and stitching.
- Customization: If applying embroidery or print, test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with your specific application equipment.
