Yoga Bag

Certain to be the talk of your yoga studio, this bag is so incredible on so many levels, it just makes us smile to look at it. First of all, you wonÆt believe that itÆs made from recycled plastic bags picked from the trash heaps of a New Delhi slum. Rather than let them pile up in landfills, the bags are hand picked by women who are paid a fair wage in order to turn trash into high-style treasure. TheyÆre made by an Indian non-profit company that employs and empowers 300 low-caste women who had no employment opportunities. Incredibly, no dyes are used to make the colorful patternsùinstead layers of different color plastic bags are simply fused together.
