SMALL-FOLK Handknit Pixie Bonnets
These bonnets are hand knitted and finished by women employed by the KOCO (knit one change one) initiative in rural southern India. The women are employed, and are taught the art of handknitting as well as English and maths. The manner of employment, rather than only being employed when there is work available, means that these women can gain true financial independence, which in turn, changes lives.
Each bonnet comes with a swing tag, that has a QR code on it. This QR code, when scanned will allow you to 'meet' the lady who knitted the exact bonnet in your hands!
About SMALL-FOLK
Offering a collection of Ethical and Sustainable clothing, shoes, accessories and toys for children aged 0-5 years. At SMALL-FOLK we are dedicated to ensuring that the products that we stock are being made by people who have been paid fairly and treated with respect.
We value natural and sustainable materials and things that do best for our children. We like shoes that encourage healthy feet and all that goes with that, clothing that is free from harsh chemicals and allows freedom of movement to play! And toys that promote imagination and creativity.
In doing this we also hope our children will be encouraged to learn the value of caring about and appreciating the quality of their belongings, and knowing that the things they love have been made fairly and consciously.
