Powerful Hand-Sewn Handbags

Fabrica Kraft, an ethical design studio in India, has dedicated its business to turning discarded Sunbrella® fabric into a compelling new product line: the Sunbrella Bags Collection. Once colorful remnants from custom home furnishings, these high-performance textiles are now being repurposed into stylish, durable handbags. Over the past three years, more than 1,000 yards of what would have been waste have instead become chic totes, versatile duffels, and functional accessories.

Notably, each bag is sewn by young women who are survivors of sex trafficking. The partnership between Sunbrella and Fabrica Kraft not only reduces landfill waste but also fuels a mission of rehabilitation and renewal. These handbags carry more than just personal belongings—they carry stories of strength, resilience, and a second chance at life.
