• PROJECT 1000 brings you a unique collection of macrame shoulder bags, handcrafted by skilled artisans using age-old knotting techniques.

• More than just accessories, these bags are a beautiful blend of history, sustainability, and meaningful social impact.

The Story of Macrame

• Macrame traces its roots to sailors, who used knotting techniques to create functional objects during long sea journeys.

• Over time, this sailor’s craft evolved into a Victorian-era fashion statement.

• Today, macrame has made a strong comeback as a major trend, featured in collections of high-end luxury brands worldwide.

Craftsmanship & Design

• PROJECT 1000 craftswomen have redefined macrame by mastering the classic square knot technique.

• These knots are used to create richly textured macrame shoulder bags.

• Each bag features a clean rectangular form with seamless handles, enhancing its elegant and refined design.

The Signature Macrame Tote

• An ingenious design that combines the spaciousness of a tote with the comfort of a shoulder bag.

• Perfect for social outings, meetings, travel, or a casual day at the beach.

• Spacious interior easily accommodates daily essentials and even laptops.

• Features a beautiful rectangular shape with colorful stripes.

• Designed with two sturdy straps for shoulder or hand carrying.

• Secured with a single metallic button closure for added safety.

Materials & Comfort

• Crafted using only 100% hosiery cotton and natural fabric yarns.

• Offers a soft, luxurious feel with a rich natural luster.

• Hosiery cotton provides slight cushioning to help protect contents inside.

• Tight knotting ensures excellent structural stability, even during machine washing at home.

Social Impact & Sustainability

• PROJECT 1000 is more than a brand—it is a social impact initiative.

• Bags are crafted using upcycled materials, reducing waste and promoting sustainable fashion.

• Rural women across India are empowered through skill development and income opportunities.

• Proceeds from every sale directly support these women, helping them achieve financial independence and confidence.

• We are mindful of using resources. Our policy of UPCYCLING is a shining example of this. We aim to minimise wastage while creating our products. More importantly, we develop functional products and discourage fast fashion to limit the generation of textile waste.
• All products are entirely handmade using zero mechanisation thus making our process carbon neutral. Additionally, we are ZERO pollution (air/water/ noise/earth)
• We use recycled cotton bags for our packaging thus making the product entirely plastic-free and 100% bio-degradable.
• All our products are washable at home in the machine or by hand, thus eliminating the need for dry-cleaning (hence zero dependence on the use of chemicals or fossil fuels).

Please bear in mind that all the products are handmade and a slight variation is the aesthetic charm of the artisanal product. A slight colour variation could be due to photography and the browser.

Due to the use of fabric yarns over standard thread, our bags tend to be slightly heavy and very sturdy.
