The Product:
Meet our customers’ all-time favorite product! The Large Raw Leather Tote works perfectly for work, school, or as a mom bag. It has both an external pocket perfect for things like a phone and keys and an equally useful internal pocket as well. The little sister to our XL Raw Leather Tote, the Large tote bag is about 2 inches smaller all around. So if you like to carry A LOT of stuff around at once, you might want to upgrade to the XL!
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:
-dimensions: 12" deep x 16" wide (at the top, 6" base width)
-materials: full grain leather
-detachable “Haiti” tag and leather tassel
-internal and external pocket
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.
