Honduras Coffee Producers Make Eco-Friendly Handbags
These eco-friendly bags are made by recycling potato chip bags that litter the communities of Honduras. This new project was created and is administered by a women's cooperative of organic, shade-grown coffee producers in the mountains of Comayagua, Honduras. The sale of these bags provides needed income to these women and gives families an alternative to the standard practice of burning trash.
We here at five ACCESSORIES appreciate their work and are honored to be a part of supporting these women and their families in our giving back project.
