Ruffled Riches
When you leave behind something important, it may leave you feeling ruffled for the whole day. But carry this ruffled shoulder bag with you, and you'll have the perfect accessory for keeping track of everything you need, and look brilliant while doing it. The one-of-a-kind bags are handmade by craftspeople in India from recycled saris. For each one, the layers of silk and rayon come in a unique combination of colors and patterns, ranging from jewel tones to earth tones. The bag has an inner lining of lightweight white cotton with a large central compartment and a single side pocket for quick access to your keys, purse or wallet. The clasp functions in two ways: there's a button and loop fastener, and a fabric cord that can tie the bag closed for greater security. Handmade in India.

We're not sorry Erin found this Sari Bag! We love the fun color combinations and that it's handmade by craftspeople in India from reclaimed saris. Does this bold bag have your vote?

The only 'downside' to this abundantly colorful hobo is the lack of divided space inside. Drives me crazy!

It's very pretty, and I would pay the 40 if I thought it would benefit the people in India...they have nothing. Not crazy about the ruffle but colors are beautiful!

I would like it better without the ruffles. Seems like everything is being ruffled today - and there are some people - me - that don't like ruffles! Still, I might consider it just for the fabric. Love that it is hand-made in India.

I love this purse, but I agree that $40 is on the high side. I would consider buying it for myself as a special treat, but I would consider it more strongly if I could find a coupon for free shipping... It's very tempting, beautiful colors, but my practical side tells me that it won't hold up.

cool bag, but I'd have to think about the price

Price is too high......about $20-25 is more realistic though perhaps my perception is clouded from having traveled in India.

Thanks for all of your fantastic feedback, Voters! We're so glad to see so much support for this handmade, fair trade bag. We just want to jump in and address a few of the price concerns that have popped up. Since these bags are made by fair trade artisans in India, they do cost a bit more than mass-produced purses. The fabric is actually from reclaimed saris, so each has to be laundered and cut into strips. Then the strips are hand-sewn together to create this lovely ruffled design. The women crafting these bags are paid a fair wage, and precautions are taken to make sure they have a clean, safe work environment.

I like the color combinations and that it's from upcycled fabric. I usually don't like the ruffle look, but it looks fine on this bag.

reminds me of my travels in India...how I always noticed that no matter how remote the location and how outdoor the environment ...they keep their Saris SOOO vibrant and beautiful. Every where u look - bold statement making colors.

Love this, and $40 for it is incredibly reasonable for the amount of work that went into making this! Please confirm that it is a fairly traded item.

Gorgeous - I would pay $40 if I knew exactly where the money went and how much of it would go to someone handmaking these.

Great design, and the price is fair. Lots of work to pull this together with so many fabrics. Lots of people saying too expensive, but perhaps they don't shop for purses outside Target.
