The Essentials

Say YES to colorful, one-of-a-kind accessories with a gorgeous floral or geometric pattern from Rising Tide Fair Trade. Virginia Dooley and Nicole Jones’ passion for exotic textiles has given birth to a desirable line of weekender carry-all bags. Their present collection showcases traditional Kantha embroidery from West Bengal in India, which outlines decorative motifs with a running stitch. With a bag like this, you can be sure that you’ll never pick up someone else’s black suitcase on the conveyor belt.

Ethic-Chic

The Kantha fabric is made by stitching together old saris to form a sturdy quilt. The suede used for the bags is cruelty-free and all items are produced according to fair trade standards by a cooperative in Bengal, India.
