Will I get exactly the same item as in the photo?

For most items – yes! What you see in the photo is what you get. But some pieces (like sea tiles) are unique and may differ slightly. Don’t worry – I’ll always send you photos of the exact item for approval if it differs from what’s on the website.

Sea tiles are ceramic pieces that once ended up in the sea and were smoothed by it over the years. I collect them on the shore after storms. I don’t paint or process them – I simply collect and glue them. Each one is unique! After your order, I’ll send you current photos so you can choose the one you like best.

Do you restock sold‑out items?

Most of my items exist in single copies or in very small batches. But if you liked something, message me – I may be able to create something similar.

Who is behind Belsbox?

Just me! I design, create, and package every order myself. Each item gets my personal attention and care.

How quickly do you ship orders?

Usually, I ship the same day (if the post office is open). But since I work alone, during busy times there may be a slight delay – in that case, I’ll definitely contact you. Custom orders also take additional time.

Where do you ship to?

I ship worldwide from Montenegro. Delivery usually takes 1–2 weeks. After shipping, I’ll send you a tracking number so you can follow your parcel.

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept payments via Wise and PayPal – reliable services you can use with almost any card or account. If you have trouble paying, message me by email, Instagram, or Telegram – we’ll sort it out.

Can I order a custom piece?

Of course! If you want a custom design or a variation of an existing product – just message me. I love making special items for special people.

How do I take care of handmade items?

Each item is unique, but in general: treat them gently! Avoid harsh chemicals, high heat, and prolonged sun exposure. For printed fabrics, use delicate washing modes and low temperatures.

Do you wash the t-shirts after making manhole prints?

No, I don’t wash t-shirts after printing. But don’t worry – I always thoroughly clean the manhole cover before printing, both for hygiene and to ensure the paint adheres properly.

Can I wash the manhole‑print t‑shirts in a washing machine?

Yes! I use high‑quality, time‑tested fabric inks designed to last. To keep the print looking great, wash at low temperatures on a gentle cycle.

Description

History nerds, design lovers, and street-art geeks — gather ’round. This backpack isn’t just cool, it’s historic. The bold print comes from a manhole cover found in the old town of Budva, Montenegro — a relic from the Yugoslav era, proudly stamped with the name of the Serbian factory Leskovac.

Back when Montenegro and Serbia were one country (Yugoslavia), this sturdy cast-iron lid was just doing its job. Decades later, it’s been turned into wearable art. We used real paint and pressed fabric directly onto the original cover to capture all its rough texture and industrial charm.

It’s unique. It’s handmade. It’s probably the only backpack in your city with a sewer-related backstory — and that’s a win.

Materials: Durable, eco-friendly fabric
Print: Direct print from an original Yugoslav-era manhole cover in Budva
Style: Minimalist, urban, a bit nerdy — in the best way
Perfect for: City wanderers, industrial design fans, Balkan history buffs
