Eco-friendly Shopping Bags Here now!
Happy Spring and welcome to a new season at Zawadi. As most of us can attest, this was a harsh winter, physically and economically. We are happy to have it behind us and to turn to more energy, more light and color. My favorite colors are the oranges and reds, so they are definitely in the spring inventory. The light, lovely tie dye cottons that the Mauritanian women use in their traditional dress are perfect for this change of season. They are perfect to add color and lightness to a window or a door where you want the light to come in but also affords privacy. The cloth with a backing has also been adapted to make place mats and table runners.
The D.C. drive to encourage recyclable bags and baskets has been a motivation for us to expand our supply of green products. African women have always used grasses and sisal to create beautiful market baskets and it is interesting that the world has gone back to origins. We have already brought in sisal baskets from Madagascar that are brightly colored and can be used for multiple purposes in addition to going to market in style.
By mid April, we will have market baskets from Ghana, Burkina Faso and we are bringing back the once ubiquitous Kenyan sisal basket.Have fun and shop in style.
