Botanical Blue Medium Backpack

Our bags are made with hand block-printed cotton, a technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. The beautiful patterns on the fabrics are created using wooden blocks. These blocks are hand-carved using basic tools & manual drawings. Once the blocks are ready they are dipped in natural dyes & the color patterns are transferred onto organic cotton. Each design involved multiple blocks & dyes which have to be carefully aligned to create a beautiful and colorful final product.

Anju Jewelry | Fair Trade | Artisan-made in India

Our mission at Anju is to create unique, hand-crafted products that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern trends. By partnering with artisan groups we are able to provide an economic opportunity for our artisans and their families in an environment that supports cultural heritage, creative expression, and fair trade practices.

We love our artisans and are committed to their well-being. We have established a consistent source of employment for our artisans, creating more job opportunities while maintaining a family-friendly environment that prioritizes their well-being. Our female artisans have the flexibility to work from home or bring their children to work, and as a result, many have been able to provide their children with educational opportunities they may not have had access to previously. This initiative empowers marginalized women to earn their own income and gives them the freedom to spend it as they see fit.

As we continue to expand our support for these artisans, they can safeguard and pass down traditional techniques and craftsmanship that have been cherished for generations. Without this support, many of these exquisite crafts would be at risk of disappearing entirely. Your purchase plays a vital role in helping us sustain these artisans’ livelihoods and significantly enhance the quality of their lives.
