Charitable Giving

Getting back to our basics..... appreciating what we have.......giving to others. In this economy, many people are understanding the importance of charitable giving. At five ACCESSORIES, we have made charitable giving a cornerstone of our company. We give $5 from each retail handbag sale and 15% of other sales to a worthy charitable endeavor in the locale where our product was handmade.
