For over a thousand years, traders plied the Silk Road in search of the East's treasures. Chief among these wares were the textiles of India -- rich and incomparable, each yard a deeply individual testament to the weaver's artistry.

The gossamer shimmer of pure Indian silk is prized to this day. It takes six to nine yards of precious fabric to fashion a traditional sari, one of civilization's most ancient and elegant garments. These textiles are so respected by their wearers that when it comers time to retire a sari, they are consigned to a ritualized barter system which ensures the beauty of the fabric will find a second life in the creation of new garments and products.

Now Everything Yoga allows you to take part in this process of renewal and sustainability. By special arrangement with community artisans, Everything Yoga is pleased to offer yoga mat bags crafted from handpicked selections of reclaimed sari silkwork.

Begin your practice by admiring the deep hues of this renowned fabric. Run your fingertips over the meticulous gold brocade which has made the textiles of the Tanjore region famous among all Indian silks. No two bags are exactly alike. Each is a durable and practical work of art which will provide you with the special satisfaction of knowing you're supporting the development of earth-friendly entrepreneurism.

Everything Yoga's reclaimed silk yoga mat bags are deeply lined and securely stitched with long-lasting nylon straps and hardware.
