A high school class assignment has grown into a labor of love for Detroit student Taylor Clark and her cousin, handbag designer Jenna Kator.
Taylor and her classmates at Utica Academy for International Studies are encouraged to complete 150 hours of extracurricular “action, creativity, and service” to the community, including an extended project. As part of this initiative, Clark collaborated with her cousin on a handbag for charity.
The small TLC pouch is made of a metallic gray skin accented with blue to symbolize love. The embossed circle of life decorating its center reminds us of the life the purse fights for. Crossbody and wrist straps make this petite pouch really versatile.
Clark and Kator decided to donate all proceeds from the $45 pouches to the Gift of Life Foundation, their state’s organ and tissue donation program. It’s an initiative that’s close to their families as Kator’s mother is a donor and Clark’s father received a lifesaving donation from the program.
Jenna Kator’s fashion house is far from a household name, but her charity efforts with her younger cousin haven’t gone unnoticed. The handbag has already been featured in Style Line Magazine.
This cute TLC charity pouch is available from Taylor Clark’s Passion for Fashion website.
