Socially Conscious Mother's Day Gift

The other day on my way out, a neighbor commented on my red Deppa Bag and said how much she liked it. I proceeded to share a little about it. Since it drew attention once already this week, I thought I would feature it today on the blog.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, our Deppa bags would make wonderful socially conscious gifts for moms. These bags are well made, sturdy and can hold a load of books, even over the handle of a stroller!

This eco-friendly hand bag is red and natural. It is hand printed using natural dyes and lined in solid red, with just the right touch of hand embroidery. It has a snap on either outer side enabling the bag to expand. One inside pocket with a zipper. 18" h x 14" w. $5.00 from the sale of this bag goes to support the fair trade women's co-operative in India, where the good was handmade.

Moms will not only appreciate that her gift is eco-friendly, but that her gift gives back to charity as well.
