…& a heart for our earth

sure our bags are eco-friendly & fashionable. but did you know that they help out local communities too? throughout the year, we create custom handbags & donate them to local charities, for fundraising events.

this october, J&S designed & passed along an ELIZABETH bag for the wayne county non-profit, looking for my sister. LFMS provides support, programs, & education on domestic violence. it is a place for women to reach out to, when they need help dealing with abuse. this week they are hosing their annual gala event, “a cruise for a cause”, & we’re very excited to help them out.

the bag we created exclusively for LFMS is based off of ELIZABETH, from our autumn collection. ELIZABETH is one of our special bags because she is made 100% green. but what does that mean? ELIZABETH is created from recycled fabric, second-hand upholstery, & a donated leather belt. there are no dyes or chemicals used & all materials that were purchased, we bought second-hand. so nothing newly manufactured went into the making of her. our 100% bags are the greenest products we have to offer.

since ELIZABETH will be at the LFMS event, we wanted to share with you some pictures of how she came together.

if you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please know that you’re not alone. there are people who will listen & want to help you enjoy a more positive life. please check out looking for my sister at www.lookingformysister.org for more information.
