This clutch purse made from recycled plastic is fun & colourful, and made by artisans in India, to use up the huge mountain of plastic waste in the country, which often clogs rivers and local areas. Plastic is made from oil so never biodegrades, so is a wonderful material for a made-to-last purse, and features naturally bright rainbow colours.
You can usually just wipe-clean rucksacks. For any synthetic materials, launder in a microplastic catcher.
The purse features a magnetic closure, with lots of room for cash and cards, and makes a great zero waste gift. The inside reveals red fabric lining with 3 compartments to keep essentials organised, plus an inside zipped compartment for coins, and an outside compartment.
The plastic is washed before use, and turned into a durable waterproof fabric, there may be slight imperfections due to the handmade nature of the product.
India ranks third in the world for single-use plastic waste, with presently just 8% of plastic waste recycled. So supporting companies like this that use it up, is a step in the right direction, also providing local well-paid jobs.
