Mosquito Netting Fashion Bag

Did you ever think of recycling mosquito netting? That is exactly what we are doing with a fair trade group in Cambodia. In Cambodia, the bugs are so bad you need to sleep under a tent. So, we are taking that material and making recycled fashionable purses. Be seen with an eco friendly handbag with a really cool bug story!! Above picture is from the five ACCESSORIES spring party.

Fair Trade Handbags

Fairtrade as described by the International Fair Trade Association (IFA) is a change in the way trade is conducted based on “dialogue” between producers and retailers, “transparency”, a clear traceable path between payment of goods and receipt of those goods and “respect” for both the efforts and lifestyles of producers, as well as the retailers and consumers of those products.

At five ACCESSORIES, we strive to source all handbags and fair trade gift items from fair trade producers in developing area. For example, the pictured sling made out of recycled mosquito netting was produced in Cambodia by an organization that is certified by the Fair Trade Federation.
