The weavers of Mielie Designs work from their homes in Khayelitsha Township in South Africa. Khayelitsha is a partially informal township located on the Cape Flats in Cape Town South Africa. It is reputed to be the largest and fastest growing township in post Apartheid South Africa. Founded in 2002, Mielie is the brainchild of designer and humanitarian Adri Schutz who started hook rugging offcut fabric strips at her dining room table. She turned her creations into a way to create sustainable employment for African women working their way out of poverty. All of the fabric used is reclaimed, and locally produced in South Africa.

Beautiful, but could be a tad larger

I have the red tortoise and it's beautiful! I love hand-made things and god knows I didn't need another cosmetic-style bag, but I couldn't resist. I love all things turtle- or tortoise-related (not to mention rat and flying pig). So although this little bag doesn't truly LOOK like a turtle's shell, I still thought it rather whimsical and bought it, in any case. Plus, you're dollar$ are going to good causes when you purchase from Greater Good!
