This hand-stitched cotton canvas bag with twisted fabric handles is made locally in Madurai by skilled craftsmen using eco-friendly materials.
These Madurai-based artisans use traditional crafting techniques that heavily rely on hand labour, making every product personal and nuanced. Their work adheres to a fair trade community model where the workers are family.
Five craftsmen formed a collective as a result. They established a self-reliant society of artisans with the intention of becoming sustainable by working with organic materials. Today, these artisans reside in this town with their families and have access to everything, from stores and shops to parks, hospitals, and educational institutions.
With a sense of belonging and being a part of a larger family, these artists create quaint homely products that bring warmth to the soul.
