These fun shopping bags are made from recycled cement bags. The cement bags are collected, washed and transformed into great eco friendly shopping bags by a women’s’ co-operative in Bangladesh.
Benefits:
- Strong and durable – tough bags for lots of shopping, library books or trip to the beach
- Lined with unbleached cotton to protect your goodies
- Fitted with a zipped pocket for purse/keys/phone
- Central zip to close the bag for added security
These bags are handmade by a non-government organisation in Bangladesh who also work with Traidcraft. The organisation helps women by providing the support and training needed for self-reliance and sustainable business. The image below shows the group on International Womens Day,
A very unique and stylish way to support this group – these reusable bags certainly get you noticed at the shops!
Please note that colours and patterns may vary.
