"This bag was created to accompany you on a plane as handluggage, or to be taken along as a weekend bag, or even as a diaper bag. We are honoured and proud to have this piece in our collection. The cotton fabric used to make this bag was bought on a local market in Nepal and checked for quality. It was then cleaned and sent to an environmentally friendly dying unit. Sunlight dries the cotton threads. The women who made this lovely bag, first prepared the cotton threads and wove them on a loom. The fabric was then cut and sewn into bags. The organization that produced this bags provides handicraft-related skills training to poor, unfortunate Nepalese women so that they may become self-supportive. Many women are from rural villages and are widowed, divorced, disabled or abused; some have been cast out from their homes and villages. They get training in material cutting, sewing, weaving, dying, business management and various other skills related to handicraft production. By buying this bag, you are supporting this noble project. The bag is machine washable (hot and cold)."
