Description
This bag has been hand screen printed in Kolkata, India and provides a fair wage for the person who made it.
In addition, it is made of jute which is the second most important vegetable fiber after cotton and is a light, soft, shiny plant fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads.
Ditch plastic and use jute and protect the planet. Makes complete sense that the Hamsa Hand- the universal symbol of unity and protection is printed on this Jute Eco Shopper. Carry with pride.
