Two awards for one small product
Our artisan handwoven tea towel just won two awards at the 2026 Clean and Conscious Awards: Bronze and Editor's Choice for Best Handmade/Artisan Product.
It's a small product with a lot behind it. It's handwoven by women artisans in India, made from recycled cotton and natural dyes, and it was part of the Oscars week gift bags in Hollywood earlier this year.
Why this recognition matters
What matters most about this award is what it confirms: craftsmanship, fair work for women artisans and low-impact materials can hold their own on a global stage.
That's the bet we've made with Punar.
What goes into every tea towel
- Handwoven: Each tea towel is made by hand, not by machine.
- Made by women artisans in India: Every piece supports fair work for women who make it.
- Recycled cotton: It uses materials that already exist.
- Natural dyes: Its colour comes from natural sources without toxins.
