Jo's Purse Eco

Neem voortaan al je spullen mee in deze handige Jo's Purse van O MY BAG. Deze portemonnee, handgemaakt door vrouwen uit India, is gemaakt van eco-vriendelijk leer met fair trade geplukt katoen. In tegenstelling tot de chemische middelen die in grote fabrieken worden gebruikt, wordt dit leer gekleurd met natuurlijk grondstoffen. O MY BAG staat op tegen watervervuiling en grootschalige energieconsumptie. Daarnaast helpen zij ook mee aan een veilige en eerlijke werkomgeving in India.

O My Bag, winner of the "Sustainable Leather Awards" in October, is a leather bag brand whose bags are all made of eco-leather. All leather is processed in the Sheong Shi Tannery in India (Kolkata) so that O My Bag can make bags out of it. This is done in an environmentally friendly way, without the use of hazardous chemicals (independently tested by SGS) and with the smallest possible "carbon footprint". They also ensure that all waste water that is released is treated and cleaned before it is discharged. The people who work at Sheong Shi Tannery are treated fairly, they receive insurance, retirement and help with their rent and education. They see themselves as a large family where everyone is indispensable.
