[What is Fairtrade Cotton?]

This is an eco-friendly cotton drawstring bag that is internationally fair trade certified.
All materials, including fabric and string, are made from fair trade certified organic cotton.

Fair trade is an activity that supports improving the lives of people in developing countries and helping them become self-reliant by purchasing raw materials and products from those countries at fair prices.
Fair trade standards include paying fair wages to workers, improving working conditions, consideration for the natural environment, and contributing to local society and welfare, as well as the protection of children's rights and the elimination of child labor.

This cotton drawstring bag is kind to the earth in every sense.

Katsuhiro MAEDA

During the weekdays he works coolly as an office worker at a major research institute, and on the weekends he works as a copperplate engraver, using etching and aquatint techniques.

Maeda's works, which feature adorable characters with unique auras, have as their main themes the inner thoughts we have on a daily basis and the yearnings we direct outward.

The messages contained in the works and the stories that unfold little by little have resonated with people, and the number of fans and collectors is gradually increasing both in Japan and overseas.

In recent years, he has been releasing copperplate prints in collaboration with popular Taiwanese children's animations, and his fan base is gradually growing in Taiwan.
