Natural Tech & Cord Case - Grey Marle
Sold Out
No more synthetic cases to carry around your precious phone and cords, or anything really! These 100% wool felt cases are handmade by skilled craftspeople in Nepal from short fibre offcuts of the New Zealand wool industry which would otherwise have been discarded.
Designed for longevity, they're natural, 100% plastic free and zero waste - the ultimate in slow fashion.
The best? The story of your new cord case will seriously warm your heart: they're made by marginalised craftspeople of a Leprosy charity in Nepal. The charity provides employment, housing and medical support to sufferers of leprosy and their families, enabling them to learn a craft and earn an income, which would otherwise not have been possible in the mainstream community. So much love.
