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.
