The Mahogany Gallery are stocking an eclectic range of bags made by a South African women's community project. A further percentage of the profits are then donated to an orphanage which cares for children infected or made homeless by AIDS.
Crafted from recycled paper which is donated or brought from a recycling plant, the bags are then specially coated to make them waterproof before being woven together. Prices range from £7 to £30. The Katie pouch, pictured is £11.75.
