Handmade by members of the Cultural Conversations community in Nelson, this unique bag transforms recycled chip packets and recycled sarees (inside) into a vibrant, durable accessory. The project empowers newcomers, migrants, and former refugees by providing creative training, income, and a sense of belonging. Each bag is crafted using handweaving and upcycling techniques, turning waste into something beautiful and practical. By choosing this bag, you’re not only reducing landfill but also supporting local makers and funding community arts and wellbeing programmes. Every purchase helps build a more inclusive, connected future for all
