Product Description
This is a fair trade product handmade by artisans in the Kutch region of Gujarat, India. It is made from cotton and has fine embroidery and mirror work on the front and back. It comes in an assortment of colors and designs. The bag closes with Velcro and the front flap is adorned with metal beads.
The artisan community that makes this product lives on the edge of the great salt desert, the Rann. The fine embroidery is done by a collective of rural women from 130 different villages. Their cooperative focuses on empowering women to achieve socio-economic independence. Handmade Expressions decided to work with this group to help the women develop their skills and their socio-economic standing in their communities. Income produced by this product also helps in the development of the villages, which were struck by a terrible earthquake in 2001.
