Most Shakti.ism products are handmade using upcycled saris and a few are made from natural fabrics like jute or organic cotton. Each item will differ slightly as it is handmade and many of the items are made from repurposed or upcycled fabrics. Some items have minor imperfections, but we think this makes them charming and one-of-a-kind. Please carefully hand-wash your item in cold water and hang to air dry.

These spacious XL block-printed natural cotton totes are perfect for a day at the market, for carrying your bits and bobs around town, and even for day trips. They're great for travel or staying organised on the go. The fabrics have been either block-printed by hand using intricately carved stamps or screen-printed by hand using a carefully carved stencil, both traditional printing techniques that form beautiful decorative patterns across the surface of the fabric.

Hand-printed and stitched by talented artisans in Jaipur, these large bags are generously sized, and durable, not to mention gorgeous! They fold up nicely and can easily fit into a handbag, rucksack, or carry-on bag. These one-of-a-kind XL totes make wonderful gifts or self-care treats for yourself.

Dimensions: Approximately 46 cm L x 46cm W x 17 cm (18 in L x 18 in W)

Materials: Raw organic cotton (unbleached), block-printed with natural inks

Care: Gently hand wash in cold water. Hang or lay flat to air dry.
