The Work at Home Woman

At five ACCESSORIES one of our goals is to help men and women by creating income generating programs and support our artisans and vendors by giving back a portion of our sales directly to them. With the advent of technology and all of its advances, more and more women here in North America are working from home.

Eco Friendly Material in Fashion

Wicker is a natural material made out of different wood. The most commonly used wood is rattan, cane and bamboo. Rattan is more of a solid vine, unlike bamboo which is hollow and cane is actually the stem of the larger rattan trees. Because these trees are not not in scarce demand, it makes them a good eco-friendly resource.

Being socially conscious, five ACCESSORIES uses a wicker source from the country of Bali. Local Balinese artisans handcraft a number of wicker handbags for us, enabling us to provide an excellent eco-friendly product. Featured below are our four wicker handbags:
