Sustainability

Mmaa bags are handwoven by local artisans. This sustainable bag has the below CONTENT sustainable fashion badges:

Handcrafted Badge – The artisans, part of a collective on the border of Ghana and Burkina Faso, take two to three days to hand weave each piece.

Resource Innovation Badge – Straw is procured locally, reducing the carbon footprint. Vegetable based dyes are used and the weaving is all done by women in the collective

Charitable Badge – For each Mmaa bag that you purchase, a girl or young woman will receive a reusable sanitary kit (one pad holder, three washable pad liners, soap, six pairs of underwear and washing bag) that will help keep girls in school and help end the shame and silence around period poverty. Members of the collective have access to financial literacy training, sexual and reproductive health education and business support programs.
