At Oneless, we say no to plastic bags when we are out shopping - they release chemicals into land and waterways when thrown away.But we had trouble remembering to take a bag to the shops. So we came up with an alternative - a bag that folds up and tucks away.We reduce our environmental impact further by using organic or recycled materials. Become part of the lifecycle of this fabric. Use and reuse. |

Since there may not be enough reclaimed saris in the UK to meet demand, Oneless have also joined up with a fair trade IFAT registered supplier in Rajhastan, India. They will use reclaimed saris collected in India, in keeping with the reuse philosophy of Oneless, and we will offset the carbon emissions caused by the transport here.
