Kantha stitching makes this yoga mat bag special... knowing the hand work that was required to make it! Fair trade from Bangladesh, complete with an adjustable strap and a zipper that goes the full length of the bag. Completely washable too! Supporting fair trade is such a satisfying way to support workers who need the help! globalvillagenanaimo.com
