A Purchase That Gives Back
Every bag you buy helps break a cycle of poverty. The artisan mothers who handcraft your tote receive Fair Trade wages, annual profit dividends, and a retirement fund — empowering them to build the futures they deserve through the Bangladesh Project.
Saidpur Enterprises was founded in 1976 in the aftermath of the 1971 war that established Bangladesh, originally as a project to support mothers of malnourished children through jute handicraft production. Today, the cooperative employs 200+ artisans and exports to the global fair trade market, while also providing literacy classes, nutrition training, women's legal rights education, and financial awareness programs.
