Hemp Sisters/ Hempmania Products/ Freeset Bags/ Splaff:

HEMP-SISTER bags are fair-trade made and handcrafted in Nepal by working women's co-ops and small cottage industries. The hemp is hand-woven into a fabric using a pit loom. Each item is constructed using only scissor+sewing machines. The occasional unevenness of colour and slubs in this fabric should not be regarded as flaws or defects. They are characteristics of the natural, hand-woven yarns which give hemp its beautiful and unique texture'. HEMPMANIA produce an extensive line of quality , earth-friendly accessories that are created under fair-trade practices. All items are manufactured in Guatemala by an indigenous Mayan family business. FREESET BAGS: freedom in a bag. Each freeset bag tells the story of one woman's journeys to freedom. She used to stand with 6,000 other prostitutes in a small but well known area of North Calcutta. She didn't chose her profession; it chose her. Now she still lives in the same area, but instead of selling her body she makes freedom bags. Now she has choices. By purchasing a Freeset Bag, you become part of the story of freedom. SPLAFF: constructed from recycled bicycle inner tube or natural hemp fabric. 100% environmental, vegan, fair-trade made and cruelty-free. Making good use out of bad rubbish since 1997.
