Himalayan Freedom Co's vision is crystal clear: to see an end to the trafficking and exploitation of women in the Himalayas.
Through dignified work and restorative community support, they create valuable alternatives to the routes that lead to human trafficking.
Every product directly contributes to a woman's salary - but the impact doesn't stop there. With each purchase, you are not just supporting an individual; you are helping entire families and communities thrive, significantly reducing the risk of human trafficking in whole villages.
Whether you want to match with your little ones or have a versatile companion to carry your daily essentials, our Single Loop Bag is handmade in the Himalayas and features a distinctive sari accent on the inside. When you purchase these tote bags, you are creating double the impact - each is made from recycled sari material and sewn by women at risk in the Himalayas.

This is a very cool ornament. My wife loves cranes and this looks good on the tree. The paint is beautiful and the ornament is sturdy.
