Wash bag/small pouch sewn by the women in our partner project in Kolkata, India: Älskad

A properly, fairly made little bag/washbag in unbleached cotton canvas, sewn by the women in our partner project in Kolkata, India — a project we've visited ourselves.

The women who printed and sewed this washbag have come out of trafficking or extreme poverty.

Here's some of what the women get:
‣ A living wage
‣ A working week with hours that respect family life
‣ Professional development and the chance to move into leadership
‣ Access to pension and health plans
‣ Health education and therapy
‣ Classes in literacy and managing money
‣ Childcare

Size: 23 x 16 cm
Wash at 30°C, ideally inside out.
The rest of the care instructions are on the label inside.

Both the fabric and the print are kinder to the planet.

The design on this one is the text Älskad — Swedish for "loved" (same print on both sides).
