Short description

This listing is for *onereusable yellow Kalamkari printed cotton gift bag, ethically handmade by empowered women artisans in India.

Kalamkari is a type of hand printed or hand block printed cotton textile; it is derived from an ancient style of painting by hand using a tamarind pen and natural dyes. Kalamkari refers to a specific style of craftsmanship by pen, "kalam" and "kari", which means craft, derived from Persian.

These eco-friendly alternatives to paper gift bags are handmade using ethically sourced cotton, decorated with Kalamkari prints and lined using recycled sari cloth. They can be re-used over and over, and they are brilliant for wrapping small or large gifts, storing your favourite bits and bobs, and they make brilliant wine or other bottle gift bags! Chic and tree-free, our gift bags are reversible, reusable and fabulous.

Colours and patterns may vary slightly, depending on the cut of the fabric used. Some finished items have minor imperfections or markings, which makes them even more charming and distinctive.

Dimensions when laid flat: Approx 34 cm L x 17 W (13.5 in L x 6.5 in W) with flat base

Care: Gently hand wash in cold water. Hang or lay flat to air dry.

About the brand

Shakti.ism is a British brand that gives Indian Sarees a second life by reusing them into beautiful new items in social workshops in India and Bangladesh.

Fair trade: Shakti.ism is a social enterprise operating in India and Bangladesh. Employees are paid a fair wage as well as additional health and wellness benefits. Shakti.ism regularly visits the locations and consults with their employees.

Environmentally friendly: The items are made from old Indian Sarees that are given a second life by Shakti.ism. For example, many sarees are donated. Local donations are generally from poorer people who donate sarees in exchange for other necessities of life. Or they sell it to Shakti.ism at a low price so that they can use this money to buy basic necessities. Shakti.ism can then save the second-hand fabric from being thrown away and reuse it. Saris can also be donated in Europe so that they can be reused.

Good cause: Shakti.ism works with women who are at risk of being affected by gender-based violence. At Shaktiism these women are given the opportunity to earn their own money fairly in a pleasant environment.
