Created by Cardiff designer maker Elizabeth, Eliza Eliza creates bags using sustainable materials such as hemp which feature truly unique prints, representing her passions and partnerships with charitable causes. Research led Elizabeth to discover hemp and the world of organic fabrics opened up to her. Hemp is a sustainable crop due to not needing as much water or pesticides as cotton. By supporting Eliza Eliza, you are making a change and raising awareness on these causes.
