Upcycled Saree Market Bag

These hand-stitched market bags made by a talented Indian artisan using hand picked upcycled sari's. These bags are fully lined and feature a zippered closure, two open top interior pockets as well as a zippered interior pocket. What a bright way to carry books and pencils, or for your quick trip to the grocery store! Even though several bags can be made from a single sari, every bag is unique and one-of-a-kind. These are sold while supplies last and individual patterns cannot be replicated. There are dozens of sari's used, so the bags have been sorted into three color categories. Predominantly blues, muted earth tones, and shades of pink and purple. The one you received will not necessarily be the pictured.
Dimensions: Bag is roughly 10 x 12" with an overall hanging length of 26.5"

"None of our women have had previous employment. Many are young women preparing for their marriage in their early twenties trying to help their families pay for their wedding and dowries. Some are mothers of young ones who are trying to contribute to the needs of the home and family through their skill set."

Dekko seeks to work with individuals who possess a wide level of skills, ranging from a highly skilled tailor and his family to ladies who have never worked outside their home or had the opportunity to gain employable training. Often times the ladies meet us at our workspace and help us with all our product packaging.  The Dekko India team has spent many happy hours enjoying conversations with these ladies as we work together to package up all the beautiful products we ship to the States, adding those last touches to make them stand out on the shelf.  The money they earn is nearly double the local hourly rate, but that’s not the only benefit they receive.  Our local team also helps them learn business skills such as accounting, calculating and other abilities that we hope helps make them more employable.
