Jute Eco Shopper - Tree of Life

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 fibre after cotton and is a light, soft, shiny plant fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads.

The tree of life resonates deep for much of humanity, being a motif in various world theologies, mythologies, philosophies and biological sciences. The Celtic Tree of life symbolises the forces of nature coming together in perfect harmony to maintain balance in the universe.

We also love the image of parent elephant with infant at the foot of the tree. Tranquil beauty!
