Global Mamas Bag

Global Mamas BagGlobal Mamas is a fair trade, non-profit organization which helps Ghana’s talented female artisans gain economic independence. By empowering women, Global Mamas helps Ghana’s people move towards sustainability and decrease their dependence on foreign aid.

When you purchase one of Global Mamas handbags, outfits, jewelry, homewares, or skin care products you won’t just enjoy high quality, authentically African goods. You’ll also be helping the women who made them, their families, and their communities. The proceeds are distributed amongst the artisans and non-profit business development initiatives working within their local area. These women work under fair trade conditions for the sort of real wages that are difficult to find in their country.

With tribal and ethnic fashions making a splash on the world’s runways, it makes a lot of sense to go directly to the source. Global Mama’s handbag collection features traditional batik bags, and purses made from recycled flour sacks, juice boxes, and fabric scraps.

Global Mama’s handbags, clothes, accessories, and homewares are reasonably priced with the entire range costing less than $100, and many items around the $20 mark. They’re available from a range of retailers including Global Mama’s partner site, Trade for Change, and the eco-conscious online store Earth Lover.
