The Story Behind the Bags

These bags are more than just accessories; they're a testament to sustainable living and artisanal craftsmanship. Tejal Keyur, inspired by her middle-class upbringing in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, has transformed the age-old Indian tradition of repurposing into a modern, eco-friendly fashion statement.

Features:

  • Handcrafted by skilled women artisans in Kolhapur
  • Made from carefully curated, cleaned, and upcycled saree fabrics
  • Inspired by nature, flora, fauna, and ancient petroglyphs
  • Durable construction for everyday use or special occasions
  • Vibrant colors and intricate patterns unique to each bag
  • Sizes vary (please refer to product images for specific dimensions)
  • Every bag comes with a leather strap which is adjustable
  • This bag has a beautiful cotton lining inside and one zipper storage pocket and there is a zipper for the top closure.

The Crafting Process:

  1. Sourcing: Discarded sarees are collected from local markets and communities.
  2. Curation: Each fabric is meticulously checked for quality and cleaned.
  3. Design: Inspired by nature and ancient art forms, each design is thoughtfully created.
  4. Creation: Skilled local artisans hand-knit the bags using techniques learned through intensive training.

Sustainability Impact:

  • Reduces textile waste and carbon footprint
  • Supports local artisan communities, especially women
  • Gives new life to discarded, beautiful textiles
  • Continues the tradition of creative repurposing
