Fulfilled by our friends at 2nd Story Goods
The Product:
The large and small versions of this bag can serve your different purposes- take the large one on a trip to the farmer’s market or use the small one to tote around books- or they also work as Mommy and Me bags for you and your little! The tan straps make this bag ready for whatever you have in store for it, without worrying about a white strap getting too dirty!
The Story:
Having once held coffee beans, the recycled burlap pieces used in these bags were once part of the economic activity in Haiti. How beautiful and fitting is it that the 2nd story of the burlap is yet another act of commerce- one that is furthering the economic development of Haiti- the making of bags for you to carry your own beautiful things in!
The Details:
-90% local materials (everything except for the straps!)
-80% recycled materials
-small leather "Made in Haiti" patch
-dimensions: 12” x 9.5 “
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.
