The founders of five ACCESSORIES, Christine Hutchison and her husband traveled to Bali in 2005. While there they met a Balinese man, I Make Kichen, who told them how a gift of $5 a month from an American couple who visited Bali impacted his life in a big way. This small contribution empowered him to stay in school and improve his English, eventually allowing him to send his kids to college, proving that $5 can empower a parent and a family.
Over six years later, Christine brings the story from Bali into fair trade products from Cambodia. Through her partnership with Smateria, she helps to support over 100 artisans from Phnom Penh, Cambodia . Believing that the products made under fair trade labor practices empowers people by teaching them viable working skills is the surest way to fight global poverty. Bringing the story from their honeymoon full circle and showing how just a small amount, even as little as five dollars, can have a change on someone’s life.
As wedding season approaches, we remember the power of weddings and honeymoons to bring people together in new and unexpected positive ways! Our Must Have Clutch is perfect for any bridesmaid. An adjustable and removable strap can be worn as a wristlet or off the shoulder. Shot silk is handmade from Cambodia with design by La Vie Devant Soie. Who knows what will happen when a bridesmaid with our bright and colorful clutch shares her love for the bride with the beauty of five ACCESSORIES!
