KALPA Crochet Circle Cross Body Handbag - Fair Trade

The hand-crocheted wool KALPA is a quirky statement handbag. But it's practical for everyday use with lining, inside zip pocket and adjustable leather strap.

Our hand-knitted products are made from 100% sheep wool... Wool is one of the most sustainable fabrics in existence; renewable and biodegradable, it requires relatively little water for its production. Leftover yarn from the AURA QUE wool knit range is used to create the upcycled eco waste wool range - no scrap is wasted! Our leather is sourced from a small family tannery in Kolkata and road-freighted to Kathmandu in bulk, to be used for all our leather and suede products; all chemicals used in the process are contained and reprocessed within the water treatment facility on site.

Handmade by a small Nepali workshop affiliated with the Nepal Leprosy Trust, which employs marginalised people, giving them opportunities through work. AURA QUE has worked with the team since 2006: developing new products, improving skills and providing equipment for the workshop. As a World Fair Trade Organization certified member, the workshop gives its employees a fair living wage, health care benefits and monthly contributions to their children's school fees.
