Each bag is crafted from exotic leathers from all over the world, making each bag uniquely luxurious and a tribute to the natural landscape.A Hand Bag that Gives a HandAdriana and Fabiana have dreams for their company and also for Guatemala. A portion of the proceeds from each handbag sold helps improve quality of life in Guatemala. From using responsible craftsmanship to supporting biodiversity, ecology, and social and economic endeavors, each bag makes a difference. All hides are Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) certified. And, a percentage of every bag sold will be used to support Reproduction for Conservation (RECO), a foundation that helps the conservation of endangered species in Guatemala. Proceeds will also be used to promote entrepreneurship among the rural women in Guatemala by training and supporting organizations whose objective is to give these rural women jobs and responsibilities in order to provide food for their families.
