Description:

Medium-sized weekend or sports bag made of recycled cement sacks

Distinct and beautifully designed with a rounded top, that's this sports bag made of recycled cement sacks. This special material also makes it very strong and at the same time very light. And that's nice for a weekend or sports bag.

Also very nice: each bag is unique. As a result, the bag you receive may differ slightly from the photo. However, the elephant is always prominently displayed.

Highlights
● Made from recycled cement bags
● Strong & lightweight - 370 grams
● Splash-proof & durable
● Dimensions: 48 x 27 x 19 cm
● Two handles and detachable shoulder strap, adjustable to 140 cm
● Closes with a sturdy zip
● Each one is unique
● Fairly made in Cambodia


Practical and sturdy

Because the material it is made of was first used for cement bags, this weekend bag can take a lot. It is also splash-proof and easy to clean with a damp cloth.

The inside is fully lined and has a zip pocket and two pockets for things you want to be able to grab quickly. There is also a zip pocket on the outside. In short, practical and very sturdy.


Fade 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 workshop 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.

Brand: MoreThanHip-cementbags

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.
