Earth Tree fair trade -- Bengal hand-embroidered flat pouch

Hand knitting not only creates more jobs than machine knitting, And it is an environmentally friendly traditional technology that can reduce carbon dioxide emissions because it does not use electricity. This piece gives full play to the charm of handcrafting. ◇ Introduction to production organization｜Thanapara Swallows Our headquarters is located in Thanapara, a beautiful small village near the Ganges River in northwestern Bangladesh. During the 1971 War of Independence, the village was destroyed and many of the men fighting in the militia were massacred. "Thanapara Swallows" was born to support the lives of women in crisis due to the 1971 War of Independence. Since this is a women-centric project, some of the hand-knitting tasks usually undertaken by men are also done by women. We dye the yarn with AZO-free dyes and carry out various activities locally, including hand knitting, hand embroidery, sewing and other handicraft projects that help women earn money, as well as running a primary school for poor children. In addition to fair trade, we will also provide support for women with childcare facilities Ginni Ali, Assistant Director of Swallows said, Discrimination against women and a lack of employment opportunities are hampering Bangladesh's ability to improve living standards. "Thanks to People Tree's advocacy of fair trade, the management of Swallows has stabilized and we have become an independent organization. This has also led to the independence of women." ● Material: cotton, zipper ● Country of production: Bangladesh Thanapara Swallows ● Size: About 14cm in length × 20.5cm in width *The color of the image may differ from the actual color depending on the lighting and computer/smartphone environment when shooting.
