Our stunning handmade upcycled toiletry bags are perfect storing for your daily essentials & favourite products. They're also great for travel or staying organised on the go. The fabric is pre-loved cotton sari cloth, repurposed from secondhand saris sourced in India. Each soft cotton bag is spacious & lined with cotton, & has four handy separate inner pockets (2 on each side) - perfect for keeping your bits & bobs organised. Meticulously stitched & sewn together by talented artisans in Jaipur, these toiletry bags are specially designed to fit into any handbag, rucksack, or carry-on bag. This beautiful bag combines straight even rows of hand stitching known as kantha, traditional to Northwestern India & Bangladesh.

These stunning kantha products are superimposed layers of repurposed saris, carefully hand-sewn with neat rows of contrasting thread to form a beautiful finished looping scarf. Each item has the hand-stitched name of its maker sewn into the cloth. The colourful cloth shown inside the pouch is shown for demonstrative purposes only, & is not included PRODUCT DETAILS: Dimensions: Approximately 25 cm L x 16.5 W x 20 cm H (10 in L x 6.5 in W x 8 in H) Materials: 100% reclaimed cotton sari cloth Features : Gold-tone zipper, 4 interior zip pockets & tabs for easy zipping Care: Gently hand wash in cold water.
