Furoshiki Bags for Africa

I have been recycling gorgeous vintage saris into furoshiki bags.

The simple bags consist of a hemmed square of  rescued sari fabric, knotted to form a bag.
They sit very comfortably on the shoulder

I keep one bundled up in my handbag - for small grocery shopping trips.  The fabric is  delicate, but surprisingly firm and can carry quite a bit!

They are beautiful storage bags too - This black and white one softly and elegantly stores the loo rolls

and this one holds my one-day-when-I-am-a-granny soft toy collection!

These little Indo-Japo-Afro numbers have sold well, and are now available  online too!
