Product Name: Courier Style Vegan Organic Hemp Bag

Product Code: PWT-E-TC1N

This vegan organic hemp bag is the one that Adam Wilson (Downbound's "Chief Executive Activist") personally uses in all of his day-to-day excursions. It is sleek and compact, yet can engulf a remarkable quantity of goods from any vegan organic grocery shopping expedition. It features a deep top flap zipper pocket, which is great for vegan snacks and other items you want to keep separate from the main storage area. The main storage pocket is a foot deep and 15 inches wide, and is perfect for your novel and extra sweater. Underneath the top flap—outside of the main storage area—is a wide pocket for file folders and reports, and a series of small pockets for pens, a calculator, etc. Its adjustable organic hemp shoulder strap is well padded, and can significantly lessen the burden of heavy loads. There is no leather on this bag, making it 100% vegan. And as with all products from Downbound, this is a no-sweatshop product manufactured by workers who are paid fairly, and receive various supplemental benefits.

Manufacturer:

This sweatshop-free product is designed and manufactured by Ecolution using locally grown organic hemp. Ecolution is based in the democratic country Romania, where it owns its own organic hemp fields and processing facility, which operate under fair trade no-sweatshop guidelines. The employees that made this product are paid more than the Romanian average, are given opportunities for advancement within the company, receive medical and pension coverage, and work in a facility that is safe, well-lit, heated, and free of toxic chemicals. Ecolution does not employ children. In addition to showing utmost concern for its workers, Ecolution products are 100% vegan, containing no products from animal exploitation such as leather or wool.

Ecolution's organic hemp crops are grown in accordance with the European Union's organic certification regulations. Unlike most hemp fabrics, the fabric in this product was processed using a series of fine mechanical combings rather than heavy caustic sodas and acid rinses. Non-chemical processing is environmentally friendly, and preserves the integrity of the hemp fiber, which contributes to a strong and durable fabric. Ecolution has manufactured this product with rigorous attention to quality, so that the environmental impact of production and distribution can be spread over as many years of product life as possible. Hemp fabric is very resistant to degradation from mold, bacteria, salt water, sunlight, abrasion, and chemicals. At the end of this product's life, the organic hemp fabric is 100% biodegradable, unlike synthetic fabrics or tanned leather.

Ecolution uses environmentally friendly fiber-reactive and plant-based dyes. Fiber-reactive dyes contain no heavy metals or known toxic substances, and meet all European Union criteria for being environmentally friendly. Fiber-reactive dye molecules bond permanently with fiber molecules, significantly reducing the amount of dye entering the water system through production and home washing. Plant-based dies, such as Oak, Bilberry, Pansy, and Oregano are sourced locally from Romania, and are fixed using only environmentally friendly mordants such as blue stone, alum, salt, and vinegar. All of Ecolution's buttons are made from natural biodegradable materials such as uninhabited sea shells or tagua nuts that are collected by indigenous peoples from the Amazon rainforest. Even Ecolution's threads are selected only from first world factories that hold Oeko-Tex 100 Standard certificates for environmentally friendly production practices.

Excellent Office Bag	April 14, 2007
Reviewer: Arnie�Simpson from Carleton Place,�ON�Canada

I bought this bag from Adam about 6 months ago. The quality is excellent. I wasn't sure what it would be like from a durability standpoint, but it isn't showing any wear at all. I use it daily for regular office papers, books, a laptop and other miscellaneous stuff. No problems in the rain. It looks good too. It does attract dog hair, but it is easily removed. Dog hair doesn't bother me. It is also vegan :)

The service from Downbound is also excellent.

Highly recommended.

GREAT Bag!	April 14, 2007
Reviewer: Jana�Fritzges from Danielsville,�PA�United States

I bought this bag last year for carrying heavy school books. It has held up great so far, and it seems like it will last a very long time. There is lots of room inside the bag and also it has nice compartments and zippers. I love the organic hemp material too. I highly recommend this bag!
