The journey of jute: From nature to craft

Jute, a versatile plant, has thrived for millennia in the fertile region where the Ganges River flows from the majestic Himalayan mountains to the Bay of Bengal.

For generations, farmers in this region have cultivated jute on small, family-owned plots, using time-honored farming methods passed down through the ages

The process begins in early March, when seeds are sown. After five or six months of growth, the crop is ready for harvest. The harvested plants are bundled and soaked in water, a traditional method that softens the bark and allows it to be easily removed.

Skilled hands then extract the raw jute fibers from the stalks, which are carefully washed in clean flowing water to remove impurities. These fibers are spread out under the sun to dry for several days, preserving their natural strength and durability.

Once dried, the jute fibers are bundled by hand and taken to the local market, where our manufacturer selects this sustainable material to begin the next chapter of it's journey transforming it into beautiful earth-friendly products.

This seamless connection between tradition and sustainability ensures that each bag created has its roots in nature and its heart in craftsmanship.
