Calico Drawstring Backpack 37 x 46cm

Crafted from 100 % natural calico cotton, this drawstring backpack offers a lightweight and eco-friendly blank base perfect for textile decoration and everyday use. Measuring 37 cm × 46 cm, it provides generous print space while maintaining a compact profile ideal for casual carry. The soft, unbleached cotton fabric accepts dyes, paints, and screen-printing inks beautifully, making it an excellent choice for creative studios, workshops, or promotional products.

The drawstring closure doubles as shoulder straps, giving a simple yet durable backpack design that’s easy to carry and easy to decorate. Because it’s untreated calico, each bag retains a slightly rustic texture that enhances the character of handmade prints and dyed finishes.

Whether you’re running an art class, preparing branded merchandise, or exploring eco-friendly textile design, this calico backpack offers versatility, print-readiness, and an organic aesthetic that fits modern sustainable values.
