Township Patterns has been supporting women entrepreneurship in township communities in Cape Town since 1997. Today, a growing network of eight autonomous cooperatives is employing close to 65 women and is producing a wide range of fair trade bags for the retail and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions). As part of our social responsibility we have independent cooperatives in the townships of Cape Town producing a range of bags depending on the clients ‘specifications and needs. We offer from shopping to corporate, incentive and congress bags. The branding on these bags can either be done using full colour digital or screen printing using water-based inks or embroidery. Township Patterns is in partnership with World Wildlife Fund South Africa (WWF-SA) to promote environmental protection and responsibility. Under our partnership with the WWF we produce reusable, durable and trendy alternatives to plastic bags. These products are eco-friendly. All Township Patterns collaterals are printed on Forest Stewardship Council FSC certified paper. Our clients are at liberty to choose any bag design and where they want their logo to be placed. With an established office in South Africa and a hub in Europe, small to large customer orders can be delivered worldwide in a short period of time. Clients can chose between the WWF products or the original Township Patterns products. Township Patterns is member of; World Fair Trade Organization WFTO, South African Association of the Conference Industry SACCI and International Congress Convention Association ICCA.
