Made with care - protecting people and planet
This is the story behind your soon-to-be new Sari bag, from I Was A Sari (IWAS).
The artisans who have made your Sari bag have put a lot of work and skill into it. Your bag is made from recycled Sari material, saving fabric from landfill and reducing the need for raw materials. Sustainability matters. Because without it, climate change will only get worse – especially for communities feeling the force of more extreme weather events, more often. Your regular gift means we can be prepared to take action, fast.
Our Sourced By Oxfam team works hard to collaborate with businesses across the world that put people before profit and are planet conscious. The relationship with the artisans and the entire training and production process is managed through Oxfam’s local partners: Community Outreach Programme and Animedh Charitable Trust. All colleagues come from different backgrounds and families. They come to the vocational training centres for a variety of reasons, and end up united by a passion for their work, realizing that their involvement matters and that the initiative’s success is contingent on their dedication and creativity.
Your regular gift could support communities fighting back against climate breakdown, poverty and injustice – making an impact every month!
*Please note: the colours will vary and each bag is unique. This offer is time limited, and stock is reserved for new direct debits set up from 8th July 2024. Only available while stocks last.
These beautiful sari bags are handmade by Indian artisans using recycled saris, making each one beautifully unique.
