Hemp Pithu Bag for Travel & Adventure | Khojo

The everyday carry that carries less guilt. The Khojo Hemp Pithu Bag is a compact ~10L backpack in 100% natural hemp — naturally water-resistant, stronger than cotton, and built for years of daily use rather than a season of it. Pack your gear consciously.

• 100% natural hemp canvas — hard-wearing and naturally water-resistant
• ~10L zip main compartment
• Front zip pocket for quick-access items
• Padded adjustable shoulder straps — comfortable on day hikes
• ~450g empty — light for a backpack this size
• Two design families — Patched weaves and Printed motifs
• Softens with use while keeping its structure

The right size of backpack

Ten litres is the size most people actually need and rarely buy. It's enough for a full day out — a change of clothes, a laptop up to 15 inches, a water bottle and your day's gear — without the empty volume of a trekking pack sagging off your back.

At 35 × 26 × 11 cm it also stays within the proportions of your torso, so it doesn't tower above your shoulders or stick out behind you on a bus. If you need to carry more, the 4 Zipper Pithu 20L is the bigger sibling.

Storage, laid out

• Zip main compartment (~10L) — the bulk of your carry. Clothes, laptop, bottle, layers, hiking gear. Zipped shut across the top.
• Front zip pocket — the quick layer for phone, wallet, keys, tickets and snacks, so you're not opening the main compartment every ten minutes.

Straps and comfort

Both shoulder straps are padded and adjustable — the detail that separates a bag you can hike in from one you can only carry to a cafe. Padding spreads the load across the shoulder instead of concentrating it on a narrow band, which is what makes a loaded 10L comfortable over a few hours on a trail.

Patched or Printed?

Two families, same bag underneath:

• Patched — handwoven multicolour panels pieced across the body, in colourways like Cloud Peak, Sunrise Trail, Midnight Mosaic and Saffron Blush. The bolder, more textured option.
• Printed — motif designs including Mahadev Trail, Sacred Om and Buddha Trek, printed on the natural hemp base. Cleaner, with a single strong graphic.

Where it works best

• Day hikes and half-day treks
• Daily commutes and campus carry
• Travel days, as a cabin or personal-item bag
• Festivals and weekend trips
• Anywhere a full trekking pack would be overkill
