We have added new products, the women have created new designs (along with some old ones), and we have revamped our website.
The Happy Bag Elves have been hard at work sewing patches, brewing coffee, brainstorming, and assembling bags. 25,000 gallons of coffee and numerous serious discussions with sewing machines later, the patches are sewn and the bags are being put together.
Why are these Bag Elves so happy? Well, it does something good for the spirit to sew fabric painted by loving hands thousands of miles away. Touching the same fabric that women artists in Zimbabwe designed, painted, cut, and shipped brings a smile to our faces. There is something inspiring about the vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges the women paint with - it's like a spot of hope in a bleak horizon.
Want to own a little piece of hope yourself? Email us at contact@zimbags.org and you can order bags directly from us while our store is down.
Keep checking back for spotlights and previews of Zimproducts.
Together we can Bag Poverty!
Thanks,
The Happy Bag Elves
