If you are looking for a feel-good gift for Mother’s day or something special for yourself, Ikhaya has just received these beautiful Township bags that have been produced by previously underprivileged women in the townships of Cape Town. These woman’s lives improve with every bag sold!
Township Patterns is a Fair Trade South African organisation that has a commitment to bridging the gap between poverty & the working class. They have an innovative business model & operate as a co-operative. Each co-operative has 8 to 10 women with full worker ownership & autonomous management. These women are paid fair prices & receive regular orders. In doing so they are able to bring home a regular & decent income. If you want to find out more about this exciting organisation, have a look at http://www.township.co.za/ & see the work they are doing.
There are 3 beautiful styles, all hand made & fully biodegradable. Also the bags cannot be bought anywhere else in Australia!!! They are exclusive to Ikhaya & available to buy at the New Farm Powerhouse markets this Saturday!
Of course I will have lots of other fabulous things from Africa, so do come by & have a look.
See you soon!
