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.

CHANGES TO SERVICE: Signing for and receiving items
In order to protect both the Royal Mail team and customers as much as possible, Royal Mail are minimising contact between their staff and customers. They will not be handing over their hand-held devices to customers to capture signatures but instead log the name of the person accepting the item.
Additionally, for all customers where they need to deliver any item that won’t fit through your letterbox, they will place your item at your door. Having knocked on your door, we will then step aside to a safe distance while you retrieve your item. This will ensure your item is delivered securely rather than being left outside.
INTERNATIONAL DELIVERIES:
We currently recommend using the DHL service for faster delivery.
