Sissy Bag – Dotty

My personal favourite, Dotty is a super cute, round bottomed carry bag/basket perfect for everyday use.

Dotty measures approx. 48cm across the opening x 28cm deep and 20cm across the base, plus an extra 10cm for the handles. Unlined inside, button and loop style closure.

All Sissy Bag products are handmade in Madagascar. The Artisans of Madagascar are known as the best weavers in the world, their unique, colourful and carefully handcrafted bags, baskets, bats and homewares are of outstanding quality.

Each basket that is sold, helps the Artisans of Madagascar and their families, bringing change to Madagascar – one basket at a time.

Madagascar, situated off the Southeast Coast of Africa, is an island nation that is undergoing developmental progress. It grapples with various obstacles, notably poverty.

Sissy Bags is dedicated to aiding an orphanage called La Maison d'Arnaud in Diego, Madagascar. They strive to aid the 30 resident children, who have either been abandoned by their families or cannot reside at home, with essential resources and education.

The materials used in Sissy Bags products are derived from Raffia, a sustainable resource obtained from palm trees cultivated in Madagascar. This allows them to support the local community while ensuring environmental responsibility.

The Malagasy people are widely renowned as the world's most skilled weavers. In order to uplift these talented artisans, Sissy Bags maintain affordable prices, enabling them and their families to secure employment opportunities and continue honing their craftsmanship.
