Large Colourful Upcycled Sari Box Pouches
Handmade from upcycled sari fabric, these vibrant large sari pouches are perfect for holding your essentials on the go. Each toiletry bag has a sleek and sturdy interior, with additional lining for support. These charming, spacious sari pouches are made using off-cut pieces of vintage cotton sari fabric, and secures your items with a zipper close.
Every single pouch from this collection is truly unique!
Our saris are from all over India and beyond, which means we have a wide variety of patterns and traditions represented. Many were generously donated especially for this social initiative. Because every sari is unique, each zip pouch has its own story and is truly one-of-a-kind. Most saris are comprised of multiple colours and patterns intended to compliment each other when draped, which is why no two items made from the same sari are the same. Colours and patterns may vary slightly from the photographs, depending on which part of the sari was used. Some finished items have minor imperfections, which makes them even more charming and distinctive.
Each pouch was lovingly handmade by empowered artisan makers in India.
By purchasing this item, you are helping to empower and provide ongoing employment income for the women who make these handmade products.
