The Dharma Door



When exploring in Surry Hills (with Mum) we discovered the most inspiring shop called Shelf Life. Initially we were drawn to the beautiful bags in the window. We thought they were perfect for an east to eden girl. On a closer examination, what made this shop and these bags so special was the stories, lives and women behind the products. 




The Dharma Door is strongly committed to the rights of marginalised artisans, particularly women, in Vietnam, Bangladesh, Philippines, and India and any location from which are products are imported. 

They are committed to ensuring that fair wages, safe working conditions and human rights are met by those with whom they trade. Their goal is to help people everywhere access skills training, education, healthcare and community development as a means of improving their livelihoods with dignity.
