Mustard Mushroom Tote Bag - Namaste

Lightweight and strong, the two-sided, hand-printed mushroom tote bag comes in a vibrant mustard yellow. The two handles can be thrown over the shoulder or carried at the side. Fold and pop one in the glovebox or a day bag for an instant solution when extra space is needed.

This is a cool summer bag and ideal for festival merch. Pair with other garments from the mushroom range to complete the look and make a positive, unconventional style statement.

Produced by a proud member of the Fair Trade Group Nepal, this ethical fashion supports a social program for women. Your purchase helps us place additional orders to help this continue. We also donate a portion to Child Rescue Nepal.

• Hand Crafted In Nepal
• Cotton 
• Spot clean with mild soap

This cotton has been stonewashed to achieve a soft, worn-in feel and a casual look. The pummelling process gives a rugged finish and relaxed vintage texture, designed for wearer comfort while reducing the likelihood of shrinkage. The fabric in each garment is full of individual character, reflecting its own genuine artisanal journey.

Our main supplier in Kathmandu is a member of the Fair Trade Group Nepal and has a social program to train and rehabilitate 'Kamlari' girls who have escaped from a life of servitude. Their main premises were destroyed by the earthquake in April 2015. We have hugely increased our spend in Nepal since the earthquake and are proud to help the people of this wonderful country.

The Namaste Journey

In 1995, in search of some adventure, founder Sam Brummitt flew to Kathmandu, Nepal with a round-the-world ticket. After an inspirational trek to Mount Everest base camp, followed by 6 months circumnavigating the Indian Subcontinent on re-conditioned ex Indian Army Enfield Bullets and sleeping under the stars at the side of the road, the idea for the business slowly developed. Fuelled by a conversation one day in Rajasthan with the owner of a small textile business and now lifelong friend and a key supplier, Ganpat suggested Sam came back home and started a business.

Starting a business meant earning a living while putting something back into such a beautiful and wonderful part of the world and that’s exactly what happened. Namaste, translated as ‘I greet the spirit within you’ was founded in 1997.
