This cute little purse is made of black textile with a center square of recycled plastic. Handcrafted in Nepal by artisans in the remote mountain villages of Lapa, Tipling and Shertung, the center square and part of the black handles are made using the inside and outside of discarded plastic wrappers from popular manufactured food products brought in from the cities.

Recycling programs have been started in the villages to encourage the collection of the non-biodegradable trash and to educate about the importance of protecting the natural ecology. It can be a meaningful gift to anybody that understands the importance of recycling and knows how creative we all can be by turning waste into something beautiful!

Net proceeds from the purchase of this gift will fund primary healthcare and community education through Himalayan Healthcare.

Dimensions of Timila Bag are approximately 10 inches square.
