Jute Shopper
$20.00 USD
Our Jute Shoppers have been carefully crafted from natural jute and cotton fibers to shop with you for years to come! They also make a lovely statement piece on a hook or hat rack at home.
The fabric is handwoven by fair trade artisans in remote, rural communities of Bangladesh. They dye and prepare the jute, then work from home or a community weaving space on traditional wooden looms to create stunning herringbone and stripe patterns.
Finally, the bags have been sewn and topped with two sturdy wrapped jute handles in a sewing workshop that supports women who have been rescued from prostitution.
