This fair trade, recycled newspaper shopping bag has a heart-warming story. It's made by a group in Delhi committed to rescuing homeless children from the streets, and providing them with shelter and education. Newspapers, collected from local homes, are then laminated and made into strong and durable bags. Every purchase helps the group to care for more children. As well as putting several children through school, the charity has now established a permanent shelter with four live-in staff. So this really is a bag with a purpose. The laminated bag features sturdy straps that go right round for added strength. Due to their recycled nature designs may vary slightly.
