Reversible tote bag, handmade from 100% cotton handloom fabric, hand-dyed using Oeko-Tex Passport-certified dyes, lined with upcycled ‘deadstock’ cotton fabric from the Bangladeshi garments industry, and embroidered with empowerment by a mother in Bangladesh.

Dimensions: 48cm x 42cm

The tote bag comes presented in a re-usable cotton drawstring bag, hand-crafted from a vintage sari offcut, with a packaging insert explaining Khushi Kantha’s social enterprise mission and story – so it works perfectly as a gift!

The label hand-stitched into the bag features the geo-coordinates of the village in North-West Bangladesh where it’s made, the hand-embroidered name of the mother who made it, and the product’s unique number.

Every purchase comes with a unique story attached – and creates an opportunity for a mother in Bangladesh to provide for her children with dignity.

Embroidery design: Our embroidery designs are named after our favourite parts of North-West Bangladesh. Kurigram district on the Indian border has many rivers running through it, including the Brahmaputra, the Dharla, and the Tista.
