These kooky cosmetic bags feature stills of love scenes from Bollywood movies and are finished with dazzling metallic ric rac trim. Each bag is lined with plastic and has an inside pocket and zippered top. Even more fun, each bag means a better life for the women who make them! Very kitsch and very kind!”
Beaded Masai Bangle Bracelet: $14.00
“From the village of Usa River near the city of Arusha in north-central Tanzania, Gertrude Protas Kitia uses the ancient art of Masai beadwork in both traditional and contemporary designs and techniques. Gertrude designs these bright summer bangles using traditional Masai patterns, but the twist to this bracelet is its recycled core. The women of Gertrude’s craft cooperative collect rubber tubing from the local motorcycle mechanic, which in turn forms the base for elaborate beading. The bangles are both firm and flexible with porcelain beads wrapped on the recycled tubing. These colorful bracelets uplift your spirits while uplifting Gertrude and the women she supports! Available in Turquoise, Yellow, Black, Red, Green, or Multicolor.”
