newspaper bagsI've just been given a gift and instead of wrapping paper the 'giftee' decided that the bag from the shop would be an apt wrapping. I think so too.Just wondered if anyone on here may be interested in them as an alternative to what they are using now for customer purchases. http://www.theindiashop.co.uk/acatalog/Newspaper_Bags.html They are made by ex-street children in Delhi to raise funds to care for the street children of today and are beautifully made

They use these at a shop in Ludlow but I didn't realise that you could buy them direct, fab!

I bought a peg loom from one of the Weald and Downland museum events and the trader used these bags. They are really cool - the Indian FT, and much tougher than I expected. |

Lovely. I think my local fair trade/knit your own yogurt/hippy shop sells these. Lovely shop which has all sorts of fun ethical products. |

Our local farm shop uses them and I wondered about them for christmas wrapping.
You can get them from the New Internationalist shop too I think. |

I can't get over how well made and strong they are too! |
