I wonder how hemp bags would compare.

Personally, hemp doesn't wear as well as cotton. Cotton just keeps on going, hemp wears out fairy fast.
Even better than hemp, raffia: https://m.alibaba.com/product/60477650237/Waterproof-PP-Wove...

If my very poor grandparents could afford them 40 years ago in Communist Romania, they must be cheap. I can vouch for them being practical, well woven ones last decades.

I think these are similar to the 'heavy duty' 'bag for life' type bags solid in my local Waitrose.
The item you shared is apparently polypropelene. And Google turns up exotic handbags.
Yeah, you're right, I was mistaken. I believe it was polypropylene. Still better for the environment than normal plastic, I'd say.
