The story behind this piece
Every leaf plate & bowl set (pack of 25) is made by hand by Vasava Leaf Plate SHG, with no middleman standing between the maker and you.
Bamboo cut in the waning moon, worked by hand, finished with oil and beeswax rather than varnish.
Before this enterprise existed, the raw material behind this product left the village for a fraction of what you are paying — and the value addition happened somewhere else. That is the single thing this collection changes.
You are not making a donation. You are paying a fair market price to a producer who finally gets to set it.
