Red Eco-Friendly Shopping Bag

These strong unusual bags are made from recycled rice bags in Nepal..  They have been made by artisans in and around Kathmandu supported by Jeevankala (www.himalayanhealthcare.org ) , a non-profit organisation which aims to improve the lives of the artisans, especially women, by giving them sustainable, well-paid work.

The shopper is about 30 cms wide and 28 cms high, with two shoulder  straps 50 cms long. The bags are fastened with a zip, lined in black fabric and have a zipped pocket inside.
