Not Just a Bag: The Story Behind Our Upcycled Newspaper Gift Bags

At The India Shop, we believe everyday items can be both beautiful and meaningful — and our eco-friendly Newspaper Bags are proof.

Handmade from real recycled newspapers in India, these clever little bags are a celebration of sustainability, creativity, and artisan skill. Each one is entirely unique, featuring authentic Indian headlines, articles, and snippets of daily life — all transformed into functional gift bags.

🌍 Eco-Friendly, Ethical, and Full of Character

These newspaper bags are:

• ✅ 100% upcycled and plastic-free

• ✅ Crafted by small artisan groups in India

• ✅ A fun and sustainable way to wrap gifts, package products, or use at events

Whether you’re using them for birthday gifts, wedding favours, market stalls or small business packaging, these bags offer a zero-waste solution with a whole lot of charm.

And because each one is made from a different page of the newspaper, no two are the same. You might spot an old Bollywood ad, a cricket headline, or a quirky crossword — all part of the bag’s story.

By choosing these bags, you're supporting ethical artisan work and reducing paper waste — turning yesterday’s news into a better tomorrow.
