Reusable face coverings made from assorted fabrics with a variety of patterns. The photo shows just a few examples.
We'll chose one for you so that you get a nice surprise when it arrives!
This face covering is handmade in Sri Lanka under fair trade conditions.
It has 2 layers, the outer layer is made of recycled & disinfected sari fabric and the inner layer is made of handwoven cotton. It has an opening where you can insert a paper filter or a tissue for extra protection. There is a thin wire across the top on the inner layer which can be bent to form a close fit over the nose. White elastic loops to go around the ears and keep it in place.
I like the shape of it. It is comfortable on, fits quite snugly and there is plenty of space between the mouth and the fabric which makes it easier to talk and breathe!
This is a non medical grade face mask. Please follow government guidelines about using face coverings safely.
Vegan friendly
Washable (handwash in hot water)
1 layer of recycled, disinfected sari fabric (cotton or polyester or a mix of both)
1 layer of 100% handwoven cotton fabric
The outer layer is lined with a thin layer of polyester blended fusing

Handmade in Sri Lanka
Although we don't normally use plastic at all, these face masks come to us in a sealed plastic bag with an information leaflet.
They have been packaged under strict hygiene and safety standards and they come in the sealed plastic bag to ensure that they stay in this hygienic condition until they reach you.
If you would prefer us to send it to you without the bag, please let us know in the notes box at checkout. We'll reuse the bags for storing beads, ribbons and labels.
We buy these face masks from Shared Earth, which is a supplier of Fair Trade, eco-friendly, recycled/re-made and ethical products. The production process of these face coverings follows guaranteed Fair Trade standards and the factory has been cleared by the local authorities for compliance under Covid-19 preventative measures.
This initiative provides work for some of the thousands of artisans in Asia who have lost their jobs because of the lockdowns in their countries. It is a small step made by the global Fair Trade community in the fight against Covid-19.
The Peoples Mask is based on the HK Mask design, a joint venture between Dr K Kwong and local filtration and engineering companies in Hong Kong. It allows a disposable filter or tissue to fit inside a pocket of a re-usable face covering; recent laboratory tests have shown this increases the efficiency of the face covering to between 83% and 91%, depending on the thickness of the tissue inserted.
Your order will be sent to you in re-used cardboard packaging. We use paper tape to fasten the parcel but there may be some plastic sticky tape on the box from its previous life.
