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!

I bought the elephant bag to support the orphaned baby elephants and it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the colours, it’s very special.
Lorna S.
As a foster parent of one of the SWT orphan elephants I couldn’t resist having one of the pouches. Not only a treat for myself, but also helping a group that do such amazing work for all Kenya’s wildlife. The embroidery is simply beautiful - thank you so much for supporting such a worthy cause.

KEITH H.
The bag was bought as a present for my daughter. It's not her birthday until next month, we just wanted the bag for her and we didn't want to miss out. So no feed back from her - as yet.
Jacqueline H.
Quick delivery, Lovely product, beautiful colours and well made. Love the detail of the embroidery.
Rachel d.
I would have liked for it to have been stored with a fill. Creases in it would not come out. Also bag they came in could have been better quality to match the product.

I love elephants and when I saw this pouch and realised I would be helping orphaned elephants I just had to buy it . I have not been disappointed with it, it is well made and absolutely beautiful. This 8a my first ever purchase from this company but it will not be my last. A really wonderful addition to any wardrobe .

I would really love a cushion cover with the elephants on
Carol G.
I have bought a bag for my friends birthday. It is a beautiful well made bag. Photos on the website don’t do it justice. Would definitely recommend this vendor
Linda C.
This zip top bag is lovely, it's soft and very attractive, personally I love elephants . The colour is nice and it's made beautifully with the embroidery on it. The bag is larger than a makeup bag, unless of course you carry a lot of makeup in your bag every day. It going to make a nice bag to take away with either my medication or my perfumes, when we are allowed to.
Rosalind C.
This was the perfect gift for my friend. She was very touched and loved the fact that it was going towards helping orphan elephants. A luxurious beautiful addition to any beauty regime.

I bought these as gifts to take to America (when we’re allowed!). I have gifted your products many times and they’re always received with great joy and enthusiasm. I really think I might have to purchase another elephant bag as one of these may just stay here with me in the U.K.!!

Ashley K.
I have been a patron of Sheldrick Wildlife Trust for over a decade, so I was thrilled when I discovered Elizabeth Scarlett and this beautiful pouch on World Wildlife Day. The item is exquisite and I love carrying it as a clutch and also using it as an organizer within a larger tote. The added bonus is in knowing that my purchase helps provide much-needed milk to my precious foster baby elephants. Style that gives back is something worth celebrating. I highly recommend this pouch for purpose and will forever be devoted to this genuine and fashionable brand. : )
Judy M.
This is a beautiful toilet bag. Beautifully made and the picture is charming. Lovely that this is helping the orphaned baby elephants. This is another addition to my collection from you.

I got this pouch for my friends birthday. When I received it in the post I had to have a look before I wrapped it up and sent it off.
Just wow so beautiful, detailed and a perfect gift for a girl or woman.
I most certainly will buy one for myself too as I love it so much.
Beautiful piece ;))
Nicola T.
My choice of pouch was made because of the elephant charity donation. The item is a soft orange colour with a matching internal lining. The detail in the embroidery is great. A very unusual item that will be a stand out piece of any outfit. Would suit daytime casual and dress up evening.
Elizabeth Scarlet have always given me exceptional service.
Nina N.
The bag is beautiful. I didn’t know that it is embroidered on both sides. It doesn’t say that on the website. The embroidered elephants are completely gorgeous. It certainly is worth showing off. It’s well made, I love it.
Liz D.
Bought this for my mum for mothers day and she was absolutely blown away by it, its now her "favourite thing in the whole wide world!" She loves everything about it and the charity donation from it was the icing on the cake!
Velma P.
The poach is lovely it is a gift for my Daughter she loves elephants has do I she always had a soft toy elephant as a little girl, the one thing I was disappointed with was how creased it was when it arrived I don’t know if you could have packed it differently I am going to have to try and steam the creases out of it before I give it to her.
Melody F.
Bought for a 60 th birthday present for an elephant lover. She absolutely loved it and liked the fact that some little Nellie somewhere would benefit from some milk because I had bought it
Caroline B.
This was a present for my daughter who absolutely loves elephants.
Not only was she extremely happy with it , she also was very emotional about the baby elephants milk with the purchase ! The quality is beautiful.
A very special present in lots of ways.
Megan H.
Lovely pouch- as always top quality with a luxury feel! Starting to get a collection of these pouches! Perfect for keeping all my makeup together but also can be used as actual bag too! Love the design and cause too!
Joan G.
Excellent
anita b.
I love this pouch, it is the usual high quality with attention to detail you can expect from Elizabeth Scarlet producers with the added benefit of knowing that a donation is being sent to the Sheldrake Trust. Please can we have more products in this design!

Loved the quality and finish of the product ... makes it difficult to give away!
Dawn S.
Fab quality, love it x
john j.
My husband bought me a leopard pouch at Christmas & I loved it so much that when the elephant pouch became available, with money going to the bottles for the baby elephants, he bought me this one too. The pouches are so beautiful.
Pam B.
This was my second Pouch for Purpose. Having visited Sheldricks in 2019 and seen first hand the amazing work they do to rescue, rehabilitate and release ellies I just had to buy a pouch. I absolutely love it - the design, the qualiy of the materials and the fact that my purchase provided milk for the babies just made it incredibly special. The second pouch is a present and I know the recipient will love it just as much.
Anne P.
It is lovely a beautiful colour
Ginette M.
This make up bag is probably my favourite and I have many items from this company. They are all beautiful but this one has a real sense of calmness about it. It almost tells a story. I also bought one for my daughter and she has had so many people ask where she had got it from. The quality is amazing. The material is just beautiful. I highly recommend any of the products you won’t be disappointed but this is a particular favourite of mine. Maybe you could make this into one of the large shoulder bags?
Jessica R.
Having visited Sheldrick Trust myself, one of these pouches was a must to support the cause. The pouch is so beautifully made, i even decided to get a a couple more as gifts. I’m certain they will love the pouch as much as me.
Fakhra B.
Love it, another amazing quality piece, beautiful colour. Makes a beautiful gift. Xx

I love the elephant pouch, it reminds me of my time in Kenya in 2013 where I met a young mother and her baby elephant. It was where I fell in love with animals and wildlife.
Lindsey B.
Bought as a present for Mother’s Day. The white and gold gift box and jungle print card are beautiful. The pouch is a perfect gift for mothers, well made, useful, tactile and durable. Now I’m craving one large enough for tech.
Louise S.
Absolutely beautiful! Great quality as always and the fact part of the proceeds go to a good cause for the baby elephants just makes it more special!
Paula P.
I bought this for my friends 50th and had it sent straight to her home. She loved it and also loved the fact it helped to feed baby elephants, she loves elephants and wanted to go and visit a rescue sanctuary this year. Thanks
