Lova Lova Woven Bucket Bag

TO CLEAR - NOW REDUCED FROM £34.99 TO ONLY £29.99 AS PART OF OUR FAIR TRADE SALE.     SAVE £5.00.

An exquisite woven Fair Trade bucket bag made using dried bougainvillea flowers, skeleton leaf and needle flower. The "bucket" itself is made of pandan leaves, giving a lightweight feel.

The cream handles and piping on the bag utilise "recovered" plastic, which would otherwise have been heading for scrap or landfill.

There is a zip closure to the main compartment and inside, you will discover a plastic purse with velcro fastening, which is attached to the main bag by strong string.

The collection of the leaves is done by women from the areas surrounding Medan. These leaves are then dryed without the use of harmful sprays or chemicals. The dried leaves are carefully placed and seamed onto the bags by hand. Finally, professional seamstresses are used to complete the bag. The final result is that the leaves and dried friuts are encased in clear plastic, creating a delicate yet practical and strong bag.

 It is part of the Lova Lova fashion collection. (See below for other products in the range).

This Fair Trade bag was hand made in Medan, Indonesia.

Dimensions - width 38 cm  x  height 40 cm  x  depth 10 cm.  The handles have a drop of 30 cm approx.

This organisation was founded by Naveh Milo, a designer who has a passion for nature and the people of Indonesia. It`s policy is to only employ women in the Medan area of the country and offer them a better chance of independence and liberation by ensuring they are paid at least twice the average wage level for their work.

Our delightful Van Gogh Bamboo Bucket Bag is one of their product designs.
