Introducing the Mielie Artisan Reclaimed Fabric Pouch, an embodiment of sustainable living and creativity. Each pouch is handmade in South Africa from locally sourced, reclaimed fabric, making every piece unique. The vibrant Mielie fabric strips are a byproduct of cotton milling, obtained weekly from nearby factories. Since the fabric colors and patterns change with each batch, no two pouches are alike, giving you a one-of-a-kind accessory.
Woven into intricate designs on durable jute canvas, this pouch not only serves a practical purpose but also tells a story of craftsmanship and community. When you carry a Mielie pouch, you’re not just accessorizing; you’re participating in a movement that supports artisans and promotes eco-friendly products. With a zipper closure for security, this pouch measures 6″ L x 4″ W (15.25 x 10.2 cm) and is perfect for storing essentials.
Handcrafted in Khayelitsha Township, Cape Town, the Mielie Design team creates opportunities for local women to thrive economically. Founded by designer Adri Schutz in 2002, Mielie is a testament to the power of creativity and sustainable employment.
