Inspired by the quilting and patchwork traditions of Amish communities in America, these banners marry that heritage with a revival of stitching skills in North Indian rural communities, where women are trained to craft these wonderful pieces that will become a part of your family celebrations for years to come.

Referencing maritime code, this nautical flag set spells HAPPY BIRTHDAY on one side, and when the celebrations are over, the banners can be reversed to create a fun year round decorative feature in your home.

Crafted from weighty heavy duty cotton duck fabric, each flag is hand-appliqued and tea dyed for a vintage look.

HAPPY bunting measures aproximately 20 x 211 cm

BIRTHDAY bunting measures aproximately 20 x 302 cm 

Purchasing these flags helps give women in rural India an opportunity to generate income, and to learn a skill which empowers them to improve their lives, send their children to school, and support their families. Previously one of the only available sources of income was to cut down trees in local forests - this initiative helps make that a thing of the past, providing a viable alternative and promoting the value of preserving nature.
