La Tua Pasta Jute Shopping Bag
£52.50
Yep – this is the original chic market bag which is carried by Gisele, Kim Kardashian (we never knew she shopped for food) and every other A-list celebrity. However – we decided to have them made for us because of who makes them- mothers in Bangladesh who receive Fair Trade wages, annual profit dividends and a retirement fund. We loved the idea of creating a high quality bag that is both good for the people that make it – and good for the environment (it lasts 8years!)

Following the 1971 war that established Bangladesh and brought with it poverty and disease, Saidpur Enterprises began in 1976 as a project to help the mothers of malnourished children with employment producing jute handicrafts and now supports artisans selling for a larger fair trade export market. They also provide literary classes, training on nutrition, women’s legal rights, educational awareness and finance.
