Mar Y Sol Handbags

Mar y Sol is a socially & environmentally responsible company that markets handmade handbags from Madagascar & Kenya. They offer a beautiful variety of handbags, clutches, zip-pouches and more...all hand crafted by very talented local artisans!

"Our handbags blend the traditional weaving talents & contemporary techniques of our partner artists & designers who work together to create colorful & unique products from renewable materials. The sale of our products enables families to gain economic independence & generates funding for community development projects. Mar Y Sol is a fair trade company."

I'm head-over-heels for this amazing company - not only for what they sell, but the whole philosophy behind their product and the difference they're making in peoples lives. It almost makes shopping feel guilt-free because it's supporting a good cause :)

I also want to acknowledge this day, September 11th, and encourage every American to pause for a moment to remember and honor the fallen of that horrific day. May God bless our country and our soldiers who are still on the frontlines fighting a global war on terror to not only protect our freedoms, but the freedoms and human rights of others around the world.
