This Fair Trade shopping bag was handwoven in the village of Tan Hiep, My Tho province, Vietnam. The village has a long tradition of weaving different materials and has about 30 workers, most of which are farmers.

Dimensions - width 40 cm  x  height 26 cm  x  depth 16 cm.  The handles have a drop of 33 cm approx.

Based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam,  this organisation aims to find work for neglected families by selling Vietnamese Fair Trade handicraft products to both local and export markets, to customers that care about a fair wage and working conditions.

It also provides training and promotes self reliance to the disadvantaged women, children and ethnic families of Southern Vietnam. The project allows women to supplement their income with flexible work at home with payment rates far higher than they would get from normal commercial employers. Sales profits are used for funding various social work activities.

Our Water Hyacinth Shopping Bag was handmade by producers at Mai Vietnamese.
