Our most popular bag! Show your global concern with a smart, subtle elegance. This handbag is handwoven from actual phone book pages--people see a beautiful weave from a distance and then are wowed when they examine it closely.
Each “Christine Handbag” is unique, made from unused local phone books in the Philippines by women artisans who are supporting their families through their craft. The families all live at Manila’s Smokey Mountain, once the world’s largest garbage dump, and used to survive by scavenging for recyclables. The women’s cooperative that produces this handbag provides alternative work opportunities that are safe, dignifying, and creative.
