Fulfilled by our friends at 2nd Story Goods
The Product:
Really handsome portfolios, made with locally-sourced leather! Stay organized and look really good doing it! Each one has the capacity to carry a legal type pad or load it from the side with a moleskin type journal.
Complete with two pockets for top-load notepads, two horizontal pockets for notebook style pads or stuffing other things, one medium pocket, three card pockets, and two pen pockets!
The Story:
All of our leather- whether it is from the Noble Goat (one of the primary sources of protein in Haiti) sheep, or cow- is sourced in-country as a by-product of food. Talk about an authentic #notwasted story! Our leather products are handmade in “The Brothers” Workshop in Jubilee, a small developing community by the sea, on the outskirts of Gonaives. Founded by Benson Thermidor, this workshop employs over 20 people and is changing the story for people in this neighborhood.
The Details:
-materials: full-grain leather
-dimensions: 8 x 11" (holds a 7.5 x 10" pad)
About the Partner & Their Impact:
Our Impact Partner, 2nd Story Goods understands how it feels to want to buy things that are good for the people who made them, the planet, and you. This is why they have been working on the ground with their artisans in Gonaives, Haiti for 10 years, creating recycled, handcrafted goods for a livable wage. Last year, their impact enabled over 108 children to stay in school, not because of hand-outs, but through the dignity of their parents’ work with 2nd Story Goods.
