Handbags of Hope - Jennifer Handbag

Our most technically intricate bag impresses with its sheer complexity. Pieces of newspaper are woven into strips, that are then interwoven with each other and with twine. You?ll be stopped by people wondering how the bag was made. Each ?Jennifer Handbag? is completely unique and is made from unused color newspaper pages in the Philippines by women artisans who are supporting their families through their craft. The families all live at Manila?s Smokey Mountain, once the world?s largest garbage dump, and used to survive by scavenging for recyclables. The women?s cooperative that produces this handbag provides alternative work opportunities that are safe, dignifying, and creative. DIMENSIONS: 12 IN WIDE x 7.8 IN TALL x 2.8 IN DEEP MATERIALS: NEWSPAPERS, TWINE, CLOTH LINING, VARNISH
