The paper is made using traditional methods from discarded cotton rags from the garment industry mixed with waste paper and agricultural industry such as banana fibres, straw and water hyacinth. This versatile artisan bag can be used as an eco friendly alternative to wrapping paper, making it perfect as a sustainable packaging solution, handmade gift bag, or recycled paper gift bag. It also makes a thoughtful handmade Fair Trade gift, ethical gift wrap or reusable gift bag for birthdays, holidays, Christmas, or special occasions. As well as creating work and opportunities for local women, the group provide health programmes, antitrafficking education, and environmental awareness. They have founded and support three schools providing much needed education for the local community. The purchase of this gift bag helps the artisans earn a fair and dignified wage and builds a brighter future for their families.
