Wearable for any occasion, the east west tote is a stylish everyday essential that’s made to last, love, and carry everywhere. With a sturdy structure, twisted straps, convenient interior pockets, and a cotton lining, this raffia handbag is intricately crafted by artisans from the inside out. It’ll stand up straight when you set it down while still feeling comfortable on your shoulder. Every purchase supports artisans in Madagascar as they attain a sustainable income and skill development opportunities.

Prior to crafting baskets and bags, most of the artisans lived below the poverty line and earned less than a dollar per day.
