Add the finishing touches to the perfect gift with our Embossed Gift Box, that fits all our smaller items, & Illustrated Gift Card, available when you add items to your bag.
Each pouch sold provides 2 bottles of specialist milk to feed a rescued orphan elephant in the care of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Kenya. This vital milk is freshly mixed by the keepers, who hand feed the calves 2 bottles every three hours, day and night.
Elizabeth was inspired by the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust's work rescuing and nurturing orphaned baby elephants, rhinos, and other wildlife species. The design of the mother elephant leading her calf is hand-painted and embroidered onto luxury cotton velvet. These elephants who have lost their mothers, still grow up with the love and support that every baby deserves. Once they transition from care, they reclaim their place back in the wild and continue to visit the Sheldrick Trust - often with their own calves in tow!

Lovely pouch and even more special as it provides vital milk bottles for orphaned baby eleohants at the Sheldrike Wildlife Trust
Eleanor L.
I was disappointed there were folds in the material which I can't get rid of. It arrived flat and maybe it would have been better if it was packed with padding to prevent the folds.
Wendy J.
Bought for my daughter. It’s completely gorgeous. Soft, capacious and charming. Has the feel of something vintage and classy but with a quirkly twist.
Carol G.
Love love LOVE this bag!
I've bought it for my daughters wedding...perfect colouring.. and very apt, as I adopted elephants from this orphanage and flew yo Kenya to visit them at the orphanage..armed with cans of baby milk for them
..❤
Very close to my heart...
joan s.
I was so disheartened when I missed out on the opportunity to purchase one of the pouches to benefit the elephants and their young ones. So when I got the chance to buy it again, I bought two them! One for each year! Matter fact, I think you should carry them all year around, or at least once a year. I also got one of each animal design, as how could I choose one over the other? Wanted the bee one though, as it is very attractive, but it was sold out. I'm hoping that they will be brought back, as quite a few were sold out at that time of purchase. I guess that's good news. Will be watching!
mary b.
I am thrilled with my order, beautiful quality and great service. I would highly recommend ordering for a worthwhile cause and great quality.
Dawn C.
Purchased for my daughter to take her essentials into hospital when her baby is due.
Beautiful shade, very relevant subject matter, mother and baby. This has the added bonus of donating the milk to orphaned elephants.
Well made and beautifully embroiled.
The bag will be most useful for future use, being a hand size to pop in a tote or suitcase. I love these bags.
Absolutely delighted!
Georgie S.
Not only is an elephant my friend’s favourite animal but orange/coral her favourite colour - so this bag was a major hit.
Theresa F.
This is the most beautifully embroidered purse. Gorgeous soft velvet in the most glorious orange reminiscent of the colour of the soil in Africa. I love that purchasing this helps provide milk formula for orphaned elephant calves at the Sheldrick Wildlife Rust through whom I also sponsor 2 orphans.
Anna T.
Beautiful, bought one for my mum as well.
Margaret W.
My husband has been sponsoring an elephant with the Sheldrick Trust for many years as an ongoing Christmas present from our son. So when I saw this item I just had to purchase it and I am so glad I did. It is probably nicer than it looks on the website and I am really pleased with my purchase. Thank you so much .
Mary C.
I love the pouch for purpose. It colour is fab to look at and feels good to touch. It’s quite big so holds a lot of things as well. I love the fact it’s helping baby elephants too. Very delighted with my purchase.

I bought the elephant pouch because there is a donation from the purchase for the baby elephants milk at the Sheldrik foundation in Kenya - I visited the foundation some 30 years ago and saw the amazing work first hand so to get a super lovely pouch and give to a wonderful cause has brought back precious memories and made me very happy

Beautiful pouch for purpose, arrived fast, item exactly as described, would recommend
Sarah S.
I bought this as a present for a friend. I am sure she will love the bag, it is an ideal size and beautifully made and she is very passionate about elephants. My only criticism is around the packaging as it arrived very creased and looked very shabby (including the protective bag). I have had to carefully iron it and fill it with tissue paper to bring it back to its original appearance (hence a delay in being able to gift it to her).
In hindsight wish I had taken a photograph to send to you.
Carol M.
Really good quality. Love it .
Angela C.
Lovely elephant pouch which is very useful and so pretty. I am so happy that my purchase will help to feed orphaned elephants. The SHELDRAKE TRUST is a wonderful charity - well done, Elizabeth, for supporting them!
