Brand Story

Mission Statement

To create eco-conscious crafted cotton canvas totes that are stylish, sustainable, and functional,

Impact Created

At The Gossy Shrub, our mission goes beyond creating beautiful tote bags; we aim to create a positive ripple effect for the planet, people, and communities. By choosing 100% cotton canvas over synthetic alternatives, we’ve helped reduce plastic waste and promote the use of biodegradable, earth-friendly materials. Each tote replaces hundreds of single-use plastic bags over its lifetime, preventing non-biodegradable waste from ending up in landfills and oceans. Our production process supports local artisans and small-scale manufacturers across India, ensuring that every purchase sustains livelihoods and preserves traditional craftsmanship. We also take pride in sourcing all materials, from the canvas to the handles and packaging, locally, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting the Indian economy.
