re-wrap is a social enterprise dedicated to uplifting rural women and farming communities in India. Established in 2002, re-wrap crafts premium quality and reusable organic cotton tote bags, fabric gift wraps, pouches, tea towels and aprons. Every product is bespoke and supplied to a prestigious range of international clients on a B2B basis. The organization supports over 3,600 farmers with education and funding, enabling them to grow organic cotton sustainably using nature-led and climate-resilient farming practices. Once the cotton is woven into fabric, it is crafted into products by highly skilled female artisans, who also benefit from the support re-wrap offers them. The organisation's seed-to-shop process is fully traceable, from planting the cotton seeds to the final product delivery to customers. re-wrap focuses on purpose over profit. They measure success through their social and environmental impact, adopting business practices that prioritise the planet and its people. re-wrap has a dedicated Indian supply chain, Sanmaan Exports, which is also fully certified as a B Corp Organisation, demonstrating their deep commitment to meaningful and positive impact.
