Biddy Bags honours the original artisans of wool – the elderly. Those ladies who selflessly spent hours and hours crocheting for their children, their children’s children and then, sadly, for no-one really. Either due to age, location, the digital age or globalisation many older women find themselves isolated from any meaningful community. Biddy Bags is a social enterprise that connects ladies – young and old. And buying one of the hand crocheted clutch bags demonstrates an appreciation for the maker, and for our older generations.

The good people at Thread Den are hooking in and helping to spread the cause in Victoria. Contact them if you’d like to become involved.
