Rising Tide Fair Trade
From their website: www.rtfairtrade.com
Rising Tide Fair Trade offers a business model with people and planet in mind. Our bags are created from repurposed scraps of cotton and vintage quilts and finished in cruelty free leather (from naturally deceased animals). Rather than using a system of mass production, our bags are produced in a women’s cooperative, which has a lower impact on the environment. Our bags are made one at a time by individuals paid a fair wage and treated with dignity and respect.
This is the best DEAL on bags that we have found. These bags are not only created from recycled materials but are made with a traditional Bengali method of stitching called Kantha. The ladies at Rising Tide Fair Trade have got something very special going on and that not only includes being eco-friendly, but supporting women around the globe. With the holidays just around the corner, this could provide a great gift for an eco-conscious friend!
