We are involved in the design of our handbags and work with a rehabilitation center in Mexico City for young adults ages 18-28 similar to a juvenile hall. The young adults are given a choice to do rigorous work with very low pay or make these candy wrapper products and earn 5x more per week. When they get paid for their production they are able to pass this along to their families. As our business has grown it has given employment to others i.e. senior citizens, single mothers and the unemployed. It has been very rewarding to know others benefit in exposing this beautiful art that puts a smile in those who buy it and those who make it.

The stylish eco friendly handbags, with their striking colors, reflect the love of the hands that fold and weave each wrapper together to create their unique shapes and sizes. It takes one artisan a full day to make a small purse and up to five days to make a larger purse.

By making a purchase you help the environment, the lives of those who handcraft the accessories, the young adults at a local rehabilitation center and many others whose hands touch the candy wrappers. This is a fair trade business based in San Francisco, California.
