Is your yoga mat bag saving the world?

 
A bag that changes the world? That’s a pretty big call right? Well, that all depends on how you look at it.
 
By choosing to buy beautiful, hand crafted gear designed specifically to support your inner work, you’re practice is enriched by the product itself, but also by the knowledge that your purchase has lent a hand to a talented individual working their way towards a better life. It’s a wonderful synergy when you think about it – our practices help us to make better choices in our lives, these products help create better choices in the lives of those who made them.

Fair Trade and Ethical

 
All the gear that is available through ScissorsRockPaper has been made by projects that are working by Fair Trade or eco/ethical guidelines – which put simply, means they’re working with producers to ensure safe working conditions, fair pay, and community development. Many projects also assist with education, skills training, health & child care, keeping traditional crafts alive and counseling.

Connection
 
One aim of ScissorsRockPaper is to foster a more direct connection between you, the keen supporter, and the beautiful, courageous workers who make  the gear sold in this store. We all face challenges in our lives, we all want to improve our circumstances and most of us would like to be able to ease the suffering of others as well. Well that’s exactly how the people working in developing nations feel too! So why not work together? It’s my hope that through this site you’ll be able to feel a more tangible connection with the people who make what you buy, and through this connection foster a mutual sense of empowerment, inspiration and compassion. 
 
“Each time a man stands up for an idea, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

Robert F. Kennedy
