Description:
Striking and lightweight shoulder bag made from recycled cement sacks
This sturdy shoulder bag stands out because of its round shape and its very special material: recycled cement sacks. This allows the bag to withstand a lot, since it used to carry cement. Sturdy, waterproof and unique.
Because each bag is unique, the one you receive may differ slightly from the photograph. However, the camel or fish are always prominently featured.

Small yet spacious
Because the material it is made of was first used for cement bags, this bag can take a lot. The bag looks small, but is still spacious and very practical because of the four extra pockets.
On the inside you will find two pockets and a zip pocket for your keys, wallet and phone. There is also a small zip pocket on the outside. In short, well-organised and very solid.
The bag is fully lined and very nicely finished. It is also splashproof due to the material used.
Fading through use
The prints may fade with intensive use. This is because the material is printed with a different purpose, namely to be used for cement bags. This means that they are not super durable. However, this gives the bags their charm.
Fair made in Cambodia
The bags are made in a social workplace in the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Phen. Here mainly disabled craftsmen work. In this way they strive to improve the living standards of people with disabilities. They also have the admirable mission to make Cambodia cleaner by using recycled materials in their creations.

Bags and accessories made from recycled cement bags
The MoreThanHip Cement bags collection is made in Cambodia. The cement bags and the cement that was used in them originally come from Thailand. Cambodia imports a lot of building materials from Thailand, for the reconstruction of the country after the devastating years of oppression by the Khmer Rouge.
Fairly produced
These discarded cement bags have been discovered by local craftsmen as a material for making bags of all kinds, toilet bags and pencil cases. MoreThanHip's cement bag collection is made in a social workshop in the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Phen. Here, mainly disabled craftsmen work. In this way, the workshop strives to give people with disabilities a dignified place in society and to improve their standard of living.
Cleaning up the environment
The workshop also has the admirable mission of making Cambodia cleaner by using recycled materials in their creations. After all, litter is a big problem in countries like Cambodia and one of the causes of the plastic soup in the oceans.
Strong, light and waterproof
The material - woven plastic with a coating - from which the cement bag items are made was initially developed for cement bags. That means it has to be very strong, as a full bag of cement weighs 50 Kg. At the same time, it is very light, which contributes to the carrying comfort of a bag made of this material. The coating also makes it waterproof, which is of course a very nice feature for a bag.
Original and unique
Cement bags from different brands have been used for our collection, each with their own design. For example, we have articles with an elephant, a camel and an eagle. That alone makes for an original look. Moreover, no two items of a model are exactly the same, because different parts of a cement bag are used each time. This way you can be sure of a unique item.
