Flat Bottom Upcycled Sari Pouch
Handmade from upcycled sari cloth, these lovely zipper pouches are perfect for holding your essentials on the go. The interior is spacious and has a thick lining for extra durability. Each artisan maker has stitched her name in Tamil script on the exterior of the pouch. Handmade with love in India by empowered artisan women.
Our saris are from all over India and beyond, which means we have a wide variety of patterns and traditions represented. Many were generously donated especially for this social initiative. Because every sari is unique, each zip pouch has its own story and is truly one-of-a-kind. Most saris are comprised of multiple colours and patterns intended to compliment each other when draped, which is why no two items made from the same sari are the same. Colours and patterns may vary from the photographs, depending on which part of the saris were used. Some finished items have minor imperfections, which makes them even more charming and distinctive.
By purchasing this item, you are helping to empower and provide ongoing employment income for the women who make these handmade products.
