In India, where bicycles, motorcycles, and motorized rickshaws are often the primary means of transportation, used bicycle chains abound. These unique boxes made of used bicycle chains, not only make a great gift for holding jewelry and small trinkets but also help to take care of the environment by giving new life to these metal chains.

About the Artisans
India has always been renowned for its rich silk fabrics, woodcarvings and carpets. However, many of these products are produced in conditions of abject poverty for the craftsmen, exploited by large producers and moneylenders. Asha Handicrafts is a not-for-profit making body, based in Mumbai, India, working to promote Fair Trade and Fair Trade practices. As a member organisation of The World Fair Trade Organization , Asha Handicrafts ensures that the benefits of handicraft production reach the craftspeople themselves.
