Gift the gift of sustainability with a bundle of 10 of our popular reusable sari gift bags, ethically handmade by empowered artisan women in India.
You will receive 10 different sari gift bags, like those in the photos shown. The colours and patterns may vary, though you will receive all different bags with each purchase. We'll choose a variety so you can have a selection of colours and patterns.
These eco-friendly alternatives to paper gift bags are handmade using repurposed saris. They can be re-used over and over, and they are brilliant for wrapping small gifts, storing trinkets, jewellery, or other small items. They're also popular to store favours for weddings, birthday parties and other events. They're good for the environment, made entirely of 100% recycled reclaimed sari fabric.
Because every sari is unique, each pouch has its own story, so no two bags are exactly alike. Colours and patterns will vary, depending on the saris used. Some finished items have minor imperfections or markings, which makes them even more charming and distinctive.
*COLOURS AND PATTERNS WILL VARY AS EACH ITEM IS MADE FROM UPCYCLED SARI FABRIC - PHOTOS SHOWN ARE EXAMPLES*
Dimensions when laid flat: Approximately 19 cm L x 12 W (7.5 in L x 4.5 in W)
Care: Gently hand wash in cold water. Hang or lay flat to air dry.
Thanks for your support!

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.
