This co-operative was founded in 2007 and is made up of 10 part time studio workers and about 70 home workers, mainly women who are all paid the national minimum wage or above, allowing them to support their families. Plus, the workers get a bonus every Christmas, equivalent to one month`s wage. Their healthcare is also supported. These workers are from the Cebu mountain regions where work is difficult to gain.

The project supports both local jobs and helps to keep the surrounding environment clean as the materials used by the artisans is waste packaging that was heading for landfill. The co-operative has been funded by the UK and a French partner to purchase the sewing machines and cleaning facilities.

Our fantastic Rubbish Bags! Shoulder Bag is just one of the many bags made by the team in Cebu.
