Trade As One

Recently, I was flipping through Saveur, a culinary-travel magazine with a fabulous focus on summer markets and was thrilled to see one of our producers, Handmade Expressions, featured with 8 other shopping bags. A one-page featured called Hold Everything: Reusable shopping bags from around the globe highlighted bags and market baskets made all over the world. The Jute Symphony Bag is from the same family of products as our Nature Nectar Bag, $44 which can be used as a tote or purse. The bags are made by the Kasuthi Women’s Empowerment Group, a southern India cooperative focused on empowering women and children. The summertime provides many opportunities to carry things in creative ways - trips to the beach, the local farmer’s market or an outdoor concert - all requiring efficient packing efforts. Check out our favorite ways to tote things around this summer: the Trade as One Eco Grocery Bag made in Mexico, the Cooler Bag made in Indonesia, the Small , Medium and Large Recycled Magazine Totes, all made in Cambodia.
