Pirate Shack Playhouse

Raise the anchor and ready the crew. Embroidered and appliqued with a compass, friendly parrot and a treasure chest, the pirate shack playhouse sets the scene for little pirates to embark on a swashbuckling adventure.

The playhouse was designed in the UK and hand made in rural India by a fair trade company. The company have trained over 250 women in sewing and embroidery as part of an initiative supported by the state government’s District Rural Development Agency. The fabrics used to create the playhouses are hand-woven and hand-dyed using traditional Indian techniques. It takes at least 15 hours sewing time to create one playhouse.

The playhouse can be used indoors and out, although it is not waterproof and should not be left out in the rain. Easy to assemble with a light metal frame, it comes with a canvas bag where it can be stored away conveniently when not in use.

A lightly padded cotton floor quilt designed to fit the base of the playhouseis is also available. There are a number of matching accessories available separately.

Available in two sizes, small (110 x 74 x 110 cm) and large (134 x 110 x 165 cm).

In choosing this playhouse you are helping empower women to gain financial independence and support their families and it would make a lovely ethical gift.
