The backs of these pouches feature the traditional, hand-woven fabric of the Cordillera weavers of Easter Weaving Room, in Baguio City, Philippines. This is an ancient and protected Indigenous art, and your purchase supports the women who practice it. Thanks to the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act, these artisans are able to earn a living wage higher than their local minimum wage. I believe in paying workers ethically, and using non-exploited labor in the materials I source, so you can feel great about your purchase! Each piece is cut, embroidered and assembled by hand, with the highest attention to detail.
