herbal insect repellent bags

These linen bags are hand embroidered by women of the Jabaliya Tribe in St Catherine, each with its unique traditional pattern. The fabric allows for the potent fragrance of our insect repelling herbal mix to protect the area it is placed in. They have worked quite well in our kitchen cupboards, next to pet food and in between stored woolen clothes.
