What our experts say...

I love that this bag, made with natural fibres jute and cotton, creates employment for survivors of the 2013 Rana Plaza factory collapse. To directly assist those who are ultimately victims of the fast fashion trade through the production of high-quality, hand woven products, is social responsibility at its finest. I enjoy filling this bag with my weekly farmer’s market haul as well as taking it to the beach. It’s so durable and I love the little pocket that houses my phone, keys and wallet.

I loved the size of this bag. It is so convenient! The jute and cotton material is a great choice and I loved knowing that this bag supported the families of the Rana Plaza garment factory collapse survivors. This is a beautiful story behind the workmanship of the bag. I remember watching the news in 2013 when the Rana Plaza garment factory collapsed. As I work within the fashion industry this pained my heart. Therefore I strongly valued Earth Worthy’s social strategy to employ and empower the survivors and create products that will continue to support the survivors today. This is a heartwarming initiative and thoughtful supply chain.
