HANDMADE IN BANGLADESH
We hope you love our small collection of unique pencil cases. The pencil case measures W20 x H7 cm. It is quilted and made of four layers of vintage cotton saris.
The pencil case is hand stitched with uniform visible stitches, called kantha stitches. Kantha is a special way of embroidery and is a centuries-long tradition originally from Bangladesh and India. The pencil case is sewn based on global fair trade principles and took about an hour and a half to sew by hand.
When you buy a penalhus, you help ensure proper, meaningful and dignified jobs for marginalized women in Bangladesh. The women work for a socially responsible company, where they receive a fair salary, annual bonus (dividend) and professional training.

Details
Penalhuset is made from vintage saris, which means the product has a history.
The saris have previously been worn by women in Bangladesh. They have now been upcycled and given a new life. This means that the product is not perfect and may have minor spots and patches on it.
Likewise, there will never be two products that are exactly alike, because the products are handmade. We hope that you will appreciate the little features of the products and their history as much as we do – and we hope that you will enjoy them for many years to come.
