Rural Handicrafts Company (RHC) is a socially responsible fashion and homewares label committed to environmentally-friendly materials and fair trade practices.
The brand’s unique range features handcrafted bags made from either cloth fabrics or eco-friendly jute. There aren’t any clutches as yet, but the larger hobos, evening bags, and reversible handbags should give bagistas enough choice.
Each is embroidered by woman in rural India using traditional practices. By getting away from the factories, RHC can guarantee that no two of its bags are exactly alike.
“RHC handicrafts are made in a clean and safe environment in the villages of rural India where the artists are able to create these genuine pieces of art using the highest standards of quality,” a company spokesman said. “Our artists are paid a fair wage for their work and we believe very strongly in and support the cause of artists being compensated fairly for their work.“
While RHC is committed to fairly compensating its artists, the brand’s handbag range is still incredibly affordable. No bag is priced over $30; not bad for a handmade and hand-embroidered purse!
