Every Cara Brent bag is delicately hand-knotted by a visually impaired weaver from Kolkata, India.

Every day, they weave towards that future of light. The blind artisans weave Malai cords to form small knots, also called ‘flowers’.  Each bag takes at least one thousand ‘flowers’ and twelve to fourteen hours.  The result is a product of guidance, patience and hands of hope.  You see, when they’re given an opportunity and a supportive community, they can accomplish what you and I can.
