BAJAR Shopping Tote

Original price was: ₹1,080.Current price is: ₹600.

If you’ve decided to take the first step towards an organic lifestyle, then this is the shopping bag for you! As an alternative to plastic, and even jute that is lined with plastic, we bring back to you the age-old tried and tested humble, organic, jute grocery bag of yesteryears. We even make it in the natural jute color.

A wide base makes it easy to load and hold all your grocery purchases. Cotton webbing all around the bag and its base additionally supports the weight and makes it really strong no matter how much you load it, and yet it’s a comfortable size.

A hand-embroidered strap goes around the entire bag applying the rich craft of kantha to it, giving the bag a classy, unique and distinctive look. Select from a rich black or a warm ochre! A cotton fabric band highlights and matches the trim color.

2 Shopping organizer bags made of a beautiful gamcha material come with this bag, to organize your purchases even as you shop!

Often used stylishly as a large tote for any outing at all!

Our mission is to provide opportunities to those who never had any. We train for free and employ housewives, farmers or housemaids in rural or city outskirts of India.  Along with not having had an opportunity, they also suffer tremendous social barriers to step outside home for work. 

Through free skill-building workshops as well as a lot of time and patience, we train such women to slowly grow from makers, to artisans. For our quality requirements, this often takes 2 to 3 years. 

Each product you purchase from us is made by a woman who has newly acquired these skills. Read more about our story and process

We believe it’s important for everyone to know where their materials come from, and think about where they will go.

All our products are handmade with materials sourced directly from weavers and artisans, and can be composted at the end of their lives to merge into soil.

Washing: Although our materials are colour fast, we recommend soaking your product in warm salt water the first time you wash it. Subsequently, your product can be washed in your washing machine, alongside other clothes, etc. 

Drying: As with most natural fibers, it is recommended to air hang dry to ensure the product retains its form best. 

Ironing: Since jute is a strong fiber, it is easiest to iron when sprayed with water first or with a steam iron.
