Artist Series rice bags turn a simple bag into a story worth carrying. Each design in this collection is hand-illustrated by an independent artist and printed on an upcycled jute rice bag, so no two carry quite the same history. Pick your favorite artwork, and know that every purchase sends real rice to a family in need. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who cares where their things come from.

🎨 The Artwork + The Artist

  • 🐘 Elephant: Illustrated by Sarah Querido, this design celebrates the life and love of India through a rice motif. Elephants symbolize good luck, so you can carry a little luck with you.
  • 🤲 Henna: Also by Sarah Querido, this design shapes rice into a heart within henna patterns, representing giving, good karma, and good vibes.
  • ⭕ Mandala: Created by Emily Sikora, this circular design represents how everything connects — you buy a bag, a family gets fed, a child gets to go to school instead of work, and the cycle of good continues.
  • 🍍 Pineapple: Illustrated by Kris Goto, this design plays with disintegrating and reintegrating rice to speak to Hawaii's homelessness crisis and the hope for change.
  • 🌵 Cactus: Designed by Noelle Clark, this artwork uses the cactus as a symbol of warmth, unconditional love, protection, and perseverance, with rice worked into the soil detail.

🌾 Why You'll Love It

  • 🍚 Real impact: Every bag provides 2.2 lb (1kg) of rice to a family in need — enough to feed a family of four for a day. Purchases are bundled so 25 bags means 25kg of rice, feeding families for about a month.
  • ♻️ Eco-friendly & recycled: Made from upcycled jute and burlap rice bags. Biodegradable, sustainable, and keeps waste out of landfills by giving old materials a new life.
  • 🤝 Fair trade made: Produced with fair wages, safe working conditions, and no child labor, so your purchase supports quality jobs and responsible manufacturing.
  • 🎁 A gift with meaning: Original art, a sustainable material story, and a direct social impact make this an easy choice for birthdays, holidays, or just because.

Choose your favorite Artist Series design and carry a story that gives back with every use.

Environmental Impact

Our efforts to reduce our CO2 emissions generated by the sending of your orders mean that today Clozist is Carbon Positive on its shipments.

With the help of Greenspark we voluntarily offset 7kg of CO2 and remove 2 plastic bottles from the oceans with each order at no extra cost to you.

Why 7kgs (15.43 lb)?

We took the average Carbon Emission of a 2lb package ground sent from NYC to LA and multiply that number by 4.

Why 2 bottles?

Millions of plastic bottles pollute our oceans every year, two standard bottles are a daily recommended water intake. We're committed to cleaning them up.

About Rice Love

Rice Love was born in 2015 from a simple idea: combat global hunger while creating beautiful, sustainable products. The brand designs tote bags and backpacks from upcycled rice sacks sourced in India, where rice symbolizes shared love and connection.

For every item sold, Rice Love donates one kilo of rice to a family in India facing temporary hardship like job loss or illness. What sets them apart is radical transparency—each bag comes with a unique tag number linking directly to the photo and story of the family you've helped feed. Since launching, they've distributed over 88,000 kilos of rice, impacting more than 1.1 million meals. Inspired by global wanderers, idealists, and activists, Rice Love invites customers to join a movement for both people and planet.
