Change: It’s in the Bag

Contributed By: Heidi Atwal

There are plastic bag alternatives galore on the market, but few are as eye catching and effortlessly chic as the Market Bag ($58.00) by Apolis. Inspired by the international travels and ethical outlooks of its founders, the conscious company creates products that are lasting and that make lasting changes in communities the world over. The Market Bag is an elegant exemplar of this philosophy, from choice of materials to the cause it supports.

Each tote is made of 100% natural golden jute whose fibres are harvested in Bangladesh, with vegetable tanned leather handles for sturdiness and waterproof lining to ward off spillage stains. Through their manufacture the bags contribute to rebuilding poverty-stricken communities, creating opportunities for employment and sustainable development. By making a purchase, you can join a global citizenry dedicated to supporting the cause in Saidpur and gain a new accessory that tells the story of Apolis’ admirable mission. This is one yarn we’ll certainly be repeating to virtuous and style-savvy friends and family.
