The weaving handicraft is associated with female artisans globally, and we are happy to work with over 150 female weavers in India and Morocco. We have created a fair trade, which has resulted in financial independence and job stability for the women that we work with.

We currently manufacture most of our products in India and Morocco. We have a private atelier in Delhi, where our bags are embroidered and finished by hand. In Morocco, we work with a women's cooperative, which includes a safe work environment, as well as a nursery and a school for the children of the female artisans who are working to support their families.

All of our bags are made using natural or up-cycled materials and sustainable processes. POOLSIDE is the definition of slow fashion -- each bag takes over two days to finish. Since our items are made by hand, there can be slight differences between each bag, which makes each item one-of-a-kind. We like to think that each item carries the energy of the woman who created it.

By purchasing a bag from us, you are not only supporting sustainable fashion and female artisans, but you are also investing in a classic wardrobe staple that will last you for years to come without ever going out of style.
