Made From

LEATHER Bag Chassis 2.2mm full veg-tanned cow leather produced using a unique eco-tanning technique; tough, resilient sturdy, and ethical. Straps 2.6mm & 3mm buffalo leather; heavy, durable and stretch resistant.

The leather has been chosen for its strength and durability but also for its natural full grain look. The veg-tanning process allows the full character of the leather to be exposed, honestly displaying the patina accumulated over a lifetime already lived. In its second lifetime as a Loyal satchel, it will darken slightly and develop more character. This heavy stiff leather has the substance to protect your cargo and maintains its shape.

HARDWARE Naked, polished stainless steel roller buckles and rivets; sturdy and tarnish resistant.

THREAD Hand stitched .8mm Gauge woven polyester; super resilient, stretch proof and UV resistant.

More Information

The Loyal Workshop was founded to provide an opportunity for freedom. Modern day slavery is a phenomenon Loyal were not prepared to be apathetic about. Loyal believes that another world is possible; one where sex slavery is relegated to the history books. It’s a brazen dream but Loyal are putting it into action in one city, in one red-light community, with one woman at a time.

The Loyal Workshop exists to bring freedom, dignity and restoration to women enslaved in the sex industry through holistic care and by creating a working community that crafts high quality, eco-friendly, leather goods.

In 2019 they became members of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). This means there practices are externally audited and approved by the WFTO community.

Exit Support
Becoming free from slavery is a complex journey. We take a holistic approach of supporting her as she fights for her freedom. Our support includes: Informal counselling, group therapy, legal advice, debt reconsolidation, spiritual formation, budgeting support, addiction support and regular health checkups.

Education
Educating women is the future of development. We provide 6 months of maths, English and Bangla classes. We also work with our artisans to ensure their children are going to and staying in school.

100% of Profits Reinvested
All profits are reinvested back into the business and the community to enable us to offer freedom to more women.
