There's something comforting about a worn, cotton blanket. It's also comforting to know that those old blankets can be turned into something else when they're all cuddled out. Would you wear this handmade, fair trade belt?

I like the story of how the belts are made - would this info be included with the purchase? That would be important to me. While not something I would buy for myself, I know several friends who would be quite pleased with one.

Thanks for the questions, Ciara and Karen! The belt is currently under consideration in red, but if accepted into our assortment our buyers will keep an open mind to additional colors. We do try to share the story with our products whenever possible, so if we carry this item, it will likely come with a card explaining how and where it is made.

Though this is not the intended use, this would make an adorable dog collar.

I also agree with the dog collar comment....and definitely needs to have a card with info included. Choice of colors are a must.

I do like the idea of these belts and the color and texture. Is the belt reinforced with anything to give it some "body" and stiffness? Also if offered in different colors...I know that choices could be random...yet could you offer a color selection drop down box just to be able to select the color family you want? I would purchase multiples.

Thanks for the questions and comments, Kelly! The belt is being considered in reds now, but we do love your suggestion of offering color families! If accepted into our assortment, we would sort the belts by color group, since each is so unique there wouldn't be a choice of specific pattern or the exact color. Since it is made of reclaimed vintage cotton, it is not stiff and bends easily to fit around your waist and buckle with ease.

I like this! I hope that a good portion of the $30 price goes towards paying the workers in India.

I love that each belt will be unique and colorful. It's a joyful purchase that makes you look good while wearing it and makes you feel good inside for helping a great cause. I'd probably buy more than one and wear them with pride :)

This is attractive and useful, plus I really like that it's helping disadvantaged workers in India. I think the price is good, and I'd condsider buying for myself as well as giving it as a gift.
