We have saved a batch of high quality denim cotton from ending up in landfills in Guatemala.
To celebrate five year of Bahini supporting women and girls worldwide our Guatemalan sisters have upcycled this cotton to sew and handprint these limited edition Bahini tote bags.
Join us in our celebration and wear our core values on your shoulder while comfortably keeping your small valuables in the practical pocket inside.
Our tote bags are handmade from 100% upcycled canva cotton to minimize our environmental footprint as much as possible while guaranteeing optimum quality. We have chosen a high-quality sturdy fabric so that your tote bag can withstand wear and tear for many years to come. It perfectly fits a computer, a notebook, and in the handy inside pocket you can also fit your smaller valuables.
*Due to the nature of handicraft, there might be slight variation in sizes and print.
To ensure your Bahini Tote Bag will stay beautiful forever please follow our recommended care instructions:
Our soaps and bath accessories are made by resilient women in Bangladesh, working at Prokritee, a non-profit organization and a Guaranteed Member of the WFTO which supports over 1500 artisans across the country, with a focus on empowering women who play a key role in its operation. Through access to stable employment, these women survivors of human trafficking are gradually regaining their place in society and helping to promote their ancestral know-how.
