Fair Trade Co-Op in India


five ACCESSORIES offers handbags handmade in India by a women’s cooperatives and artisan group that practice fair trade principles. This means that our producers are paid a livable wage in safe and fair conditions, and do their work at home and in small workshops rather than factories.

Most are hand block printed with eco-friendly vegetable dyes, supporting an artisan based textile tradition existing in India for centuries. Others are hand embroideried as pictured above from our last model shoot.
