Material
Recycled Saree Fabric - You may notice that your Kantha bag is already pre-loved, and may display small patches and tiny imperfections. That is what we love about remade saree products, that they have borne witness to the women who loved them first! Every new stitch tells the story of a woman helping break the cycle of poverty for her family and community by using her skills to help provide for her family.
Care Instructions: Wash gently. Tumble Dry. Love Well.

These Colourful toiletry bags are made in India by a social enterprise that is dedicated to empowering women in India to help break the cycle of poverty that has a hold on their families and communities. They do this through fair wages, women empowerment, and by giving them space to come together as a community.
What is Kantha?
Kantha (simply means : “patched cloth”) refers to both the tradition of producing these unique, quilted textiles (making something useful and alluring out of discarded and unused items), as well as the craft and stitch itself (a small, straight-running stitch especially in Bengali embroidery).
Karakorum introduces you to artisans of the world and the beautiful stories behind their products. This ethical home decor brand is a joyous celebration of traditional crafts, small business and fair trade practices.
Karakorum is named after the former capital of the Moghul Empire, one of the most important cities on the Silk Road, despite its small size. Likewise, the brand is a small-but-mighty route for trade from around the world.
A scroll through the Karakorum collection is like looking into the shop window of global artisans. Find candles crafted in Eswatini alongside Indian throws, Moroccan lanterns and Guatemalan sugar skull mugs.
All Karakorum products have a special story and significance. Even more importantly, everything in the range is ethically made and sourced. That means the makers get a fair wage, there’s no exploitation in the supply chain, women are treated equally and the local community benefits from Karakorum’s trade.
Whether you’re after a memorable, meaningful gift or a piece you can show off in your own home with pride – the Karakorum collection is the place to find it.
