I finally found a producer of these. What a world we live in - one person can find a small company on another continent and form a business relationship with people she’s never seen.
I wanted woven hemp labels. But I learned that hemp is too coarse to weave
, so they will be printed. They will have to be hand sewn onto the bags using the same fiber that the bags are made of - keeping it authentic and plant based.
One of the themes of this project is finding the balance between expected conventions of a luxury brand in the developed world and the preservation and celebration of an ancient original artpeice.
I think these tags will suit that balance.
Next steps: website development and packaging
