Better Life Bags

This is a really cool website courtesy of my co-worker's wife (thanks, Laura!). I love to find amazing products that are making a difference in the world. These bags are all handmade by first generation middle eastern immigrants to the U.S. The founders used to donate 10% of their proceeds to overseas businesspeople, but have since set up sewing classes and mini Better Life Bags "franchises" for these underprivileged women (located in Detroit) to learn a trade and make a living. Not only are the bags already super amazing, but you can also customize them with different colored and patterned materials. My favorite style is the "Molly", and I love the leather-bottom feature found on most of their products. Very chic. SHOP HERE

 

 

 Here are some of their other products: makeup bags, key chains, backpacks, Ipad cases, and prayer cards for kids, husbands, and moms.
