We had shown you one of the shopping bags in this earlier post.
Here are some pictures showing the bags in different fabrics and colour schemes. They all fold away conveniently into a small pouch that fits in your pocket or handbag.
The fabrics used are cotton, poly-cotton and waterproof raincoat material.
Note: the poly-cotton bags need to be washed separately as some of the colours are not fast.
Above, below: Polycotton bags inside the pouches
Above, below: Colour schemes in the poly-cotton bags
Above: The bags are strong and can hold quite a lot
Above, below: More colour schemes in poly-cotton
Below: The waterproof bags in raincoat material
Below: The waterproof bags are available in four colours, blue, red, grey and green. They also fold into a pouch (not shown in these photos) like the poly-cotton bags.
The cotton bags are similar in design but haven't been photographed yet.
The Sawra SHG will be making more designs over the next two months, one in hand-woven hand-dyed fabric. We'll keep you posted through this blog.
The bags will be priced at Rs 100 each.
We hope people will volunteer to sell these bags for us, in Mumbai and in other Indian cities.

Great Work....:-)
Thanks Saurabh! We need to sell these in Amravati and Nagpur as well. In fact they should be made by villagers in all the reserves eventually. If you can help in any way let me know.
