A Mother Found the Perfect Birthday Party Gift

A local mother was looking for the perfect gift to give away at her daughter's 9th grade birthday party as party gifts. She wanted to be eco, she wanted something cute, she wanted something practical that the girls would wear. She found it with this ribbon bracelet made from recycled pop tops which make the best Green Gifts.

Eco Wristlet

Just what you need for a night out. A cream wristlet handmade from coconut shells from our Bali Collection. A percentage of sales goes to support school children and at risk families in Bali, Indonesia with the sale of this eco friendly designer handbag. This eco bag makes the perfect green gift for your girlfriend's birthday party.

Isn't this what life is all about......

Relationships! Relationships! Relationships! It touched my heart to see how five ACCESSORIES brought two people from different backgrounds together for the summer. Ivory is a mother of 5 children living on the S. Side of Chicago and Emily is a college student living on the NW side of Chicago. This picture was taken at the end of the Renegade Craft Fair Festival in wicker park this past weekend where we sold our eco friendly designer handbags and other green handmade gifts. As they turned to leave, they put their arms around each other. I had to make them turn back for a photo.

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.
