Thrifty Beautiful Handmade Bags

by Karen on January 18th, 2007

raffia toteI just received an email about these beautiful handmade purses from World Crafts.  After seeing these purses, I expected a large price tag, but they are very inexpensive.  I also discovered that these bags are made by women in other countries that are earning money to receive an education.  Here’s a statement from World Crafts:

 

The artisans of these bags have learned marketable sewing skills. They work an eight-hour day making quality handbags and receive on-the-job literacy lessons. Each artisan is eventually able to read and sign her own paycheck, which many have never been able to before! By purchasing a Henna Bag, you are supporting these women who are using their unique skills to be freed from the bonds of prostitution.

That’s pretty awesome.  You can buy a beautiful one of a kind bag at a great price, all the while helping a woman to be freed from a life of prostitution.
