HANDMADE IN BANGLADESH
We hope you love our collection of unique bags in many colors and with various beautiful patterns. The bag measures W45 x H38 x D20 cm and has a different pattern inside and outside.
The bag is padded and made from three layers of vintage cotton saris. It is hand-stitched with even visible stitches, called kantha stitches. Kantha is a special embroidery technique and is a centuries-old tradition originally from Bangladesh and India. The bag is sewn following global fair trade principles and took about four hours to make.
When you buy a bag, you help secure decent, meaningful, and dignified jobs for marginalized women in Bangladesh. The women work for a socially responsible company where they receive a fair wage, an annual bonus (dividend), and vocational training.

Details
The bag is made from vintage saris, which means the product has a history.
The saris were previously worn by women in Bangladesh. They have now been upcycled and given a new life. This means the bags are not perfect and may have small stains and patches.
Likewise, there will never be two products that are exactly the same because the products are handmade. We hope you will appreciate the small quirks of the products and their story as much as we do — and we hope they bring you joy for many years to come.
