    Why We love them

    1

    Established in 2004, the company sells a range of bags, homeware and even dog baskets, all made from materials local to Bangladesh such as jute and seagrass.

    2

    Founder Sheenagh Day has lived in Bangladesh. She was impressed by the high-level craft skills she saw and wondered if there was a way to help women work their way out of poverty. Sheenagh collaborated with NGOs who were familiar with local languages and customs.

    3

    Maison Bengal’s work fits perfectly with our renewed interest in natural colours and textures within the home - and with popular rediscovered techniques such as macrame.
