Like all Melawear products, this hip bag is made from renewable natural materials. In contrast to models made of leather, the cotton canvas ensures that the hip bag is lightweight and not bulky. The strap is also made of cotton canvas, slightly stronger than the one used for the body and long enough to allow the hip bag to be worn cross-body. It is infinitely adjustable and can be easily adapted to any hip up to a maximum circumference of 140 cm. The large main compartment and a small compartment at the back close with a zipper. The canvas is very tightly woven and therefore naturally water-repellent (to a certain extent) and quick-drying. If you want to reinforce or refresh the water-repellent effect of the cotton canvas, Melawear recommends a GOTS-certified waterproofing spray.

Mela is a Hindi word that means "acting together", and this idea is at the heart of everything the Kassel-based label Melawear does. Producing clothing, bags and sneakers in India, Melawear personally selects its partners locally and regularly undergoes inspections by fair trade and GOTS certification bodies. Melawear products therefore meet the highest standards - from the cultivation of the organic cotton to the dyeing and fabric production through to the finishing. In addition, they are certified with the "Grüner Knopf" seal, a state textile seal that recognizes companies that already meet particularly demanding social and environmental standards and want to improve on this high level. Last but not least, Melawear wants its products to be a timeless alternative to the fast pace of the fashion industry.
