Although using a fabric tote bag instead of plastic ones won’t single-handedly save the planet, there’s still a strong case for the tote bags, designed in collaboration with the Cambodian Women’s Support Group (CWSG). These tote bags are crafted from upcycled cotton, a surplus material from Cambodia’s textile industry, already existing in the market. This approach not only repurposes waste but also supports sustainable practices. The production of these tote bags by CWSG under fair conditions also contributes to a positive social impact, supporting the livelihoods of marginalized Cambodian women.
