Supporting womens' artisan groups
Our baskets are produced by womens' artisan groups in Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. As in so many countries, women in Vietnam bear the brunt of poverty and the repercussions of natural disasters. By working in partnership with women we can ensure that they have access to safe and stable income while helping to maintain and build upon their incredible skills and micro-business management capacity. Studies show that income paid directly to women has important sustainable flow-on effects to their families through investment in health, education and nutrition for their children. We apply Fairtrade principles in all of our work to help ensure better, brighter futures for our amazing women artisans.
Recycled plastic
Our baskets are made of up to 100% recycled plastic. Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste escapes into the world's oceans. Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, from birds to fish to other marine organisms. Recycling is an integral part of the solution to prevent plastic waste from entering rivers and seas in the first place. In Vietnam, collection of recyclable plastics is predominantly a role carried out by "Ve Chai" women who collect waste plastic from households and small businesses and are able to sell it to recycling plants as a means of income generation.
Bags with purpose
Our bags mean business. Sturdy woven construction using the toughest recycled material means these baskets are built to last. We know, we've been putting them to the test for over 20 years. Washable, lightweight and super practical. You'll be surprised by all the uses they can be put to, from teachers resource baskets to beach, shopping or swimming bags, you'll wonder what you ever did without one!
