Upcycled sari box pouch (various colours and patterns)

Description

These unique patchwork box pouches are meticulously handcrafted by empowered artisan makers in Pondicherry, India. The makers earn fair wages for making each item, so your purchase directly impacts the lives of disadvantaged women! 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. By purchasing this item, you are helping to empower and provide ongoing employment income for the women who make these handmade products. The demand for Shaktiism’s products provides these women with dignified employment, a living wage, hope and opportunities for their children. Together we can provide alternative options for disadvantaged women with the aim to lift them out of poverty and help them to become self-sustaining and independent.
