Aren't they CHIC?!

Each bag is made in South Africa. The manufacturer employs people from Kayamandi, an impoverished and AIDS ravished township of 25,000 people. These bags are made by recycled South African license plates and inner tubes.

After visiting Kayamandi on a relief trip in 2006 and falling in love with the people, our dream is to change a village, and we are going to use a purse to do it!
Lots of purses = lots of jobs.

These days, it probably sits unworn in the back of the closet. Here's your chance to transform your old, favorite t-shirt into wearable duds for your laptop. We cut out the design and material from your t-shirt, sew it up with batting, felt and velcro, and voila a brand new laptop sleeve!
