Motif was established in 1998 and is based in Bangladesh. It is an ethical trading, private ltd company and works with a number of small, family owned businesses as well as disadvantaged women artisans. Motif looks to employ women experiencing discrimination for reasons more than poverty - some are former prostitutes, whilst others have been affected by leprosy or some may have been divorced or abandoned. Each situation stigmatises the women and reduces their chance of decent employment. With their employments at Motif  comes a ‘safe place’ where they can share with other women and be earning at the same time.

Motif specialise in using recycled materials in their work such as cement bags, food and crisp packets. Traditional techniques are kept alive in hand-weaving, hand-loom weaving and basket weaving.

Our Recycled Food Packets Shopping Bag has been made by artisans at Motif.
