These fully lined toiletry bags are bright, colourful and stylish. Made from recycled plastic they can handle the spills on the inside and getting wet on the outside. Fully lined with zip closure they are a perfect gift for teenage boys or girls or the young at heart.

The colours are assorted with blues, greens, confetti pink, black, orange, yellow and red.

Our EcoRiver Toiletry Bags are special as they have been made from garbage collected by Jakarta's Trash Pickers and are truly one of a kind. Artisans then cut and stitch together pieces of plastic packaging waste to design a unique pattern for each toiletry bag. They use packaging from Indonesian brands of detergents, cooking oil, toothpaste and drink pouches — all which would otherwise end up clogging landfills. The joy we have in bringing you these products is twofold — firstly people earn a decent wage and are cared for under fair trade principles, secondly they learn about recycling and caring for their environment.

These toiletry bags are made by XSProject Foundation. XS means excess ... XSProject started as an artist's expression against the impact of consumerism on the environment. It evolved into a foundation which uses design & education to clean up the environment and help Indonesia’s poor.

XSProject Foundation is committed to raising environmental awareness, care and improving the quality of life for some of Indonesia's extreme poor. They work to protect the health and livelihood of vulnerable trash pickers and provide scholarships for trash picker children.
