We make fair trade products from waste
The Original
In 2012, we had the idea to upcycle an old rice bag, to tackle two issues:
​
1) growing amount of plastic waste
2) lack of job opportunities for women
​
​
Today, we offer a wide range of bags and accessories, all made with waste materials found on Sri Lanka's coastline.
Upcycled Waste Materials
Every Rice & Carry bag tells its own story.
​
Maybe it was made from an old rice bag found on a buzzing Sri Lankan market. Or from a turmeric spice sack from India.
​
All materials are carefully cleaned before being upcycled.
Handmade By Women
All products are unique and handmade by one of our female artisans.
​
We train women from rural villages to become skilled seamstresses. Of course we pay them fair wages, according to fair trade principles.
