Winebag

I love these handcrafted winebags from India!

Kalamkari is an Indian craft tradition that has been passed down for over 3000 years in which the colors are created using natural vegetable dyes. These winebags are also available in maroon.

Lovely!

Lotus, by the League of Artisans (LOA), is a company whose focus is providing quality merchandise that is handmade by Indian artisans, and thus supporting fair trade.

Per the site…
LOA’s mission is to create a unifying platform to build sustainable business enterprises in the craft sector in India.

Over 20 million artisans in India work in the handicrafts sector. Most of them live below the poverty line and in the country’s most remote areas. They are forced to sell their crafts through middlemen, and often earn less than 5% of the end price of their goods.

Our goal is to use the League of Artisans platform to create sustainable livelihoods for these underprivileged artisans – particularly tribal, rural, and women artisans – and thereby, improve their economic and living conditions.

Responsible, charitable luxury is a win-win situation!
