The Veshmeshok used to be "just" a simple hundred years old Soviet Army backpack worn by millions of Soviet and Russian soldiers and later via the surplus market by Finnish Hipsters. ;-)
It indeed is a simple yet very practical design coming with only one adjustable sling that at the same time closes the bag and serves as shoulder straps. Simply put - the heavier you fill the bag, the more secure the knot gets in holding it.
I decided to "modernize" the concept and give it new live as the "big brother" of the ubiquitous Hipster Bag / Drawstring bag. And a big brother it is, having way more room and a "proper" sling instead of strings. Also, all Veshmeshoks feature an external pocket.
These two come in a nicely woven Gobelin fabric with a black and white Kandinsky pattern. One comes with a black, one with a white exterior pocket with former having a 1 in wide and the latter having a 1/2 in wide sling.
Size: 23 in x 18 in
