With Breast Cancer Awareness Month approaching, it’s worth noting the work that fashion designers do to help find a cure. Jordana Paige is one such generous handbag maker; she donates 10% of the retail value of every sale of her pink Knitter’s Satchels to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Paige said she wanted to contribute to the cause as the majority of her knitting loving customers are women, and one in eight will develop breast cancer at some point during their life. She entices women to dig deep by fitting her Knitters satchel with many features craft-loving girls crave.
There’s a pair of circlets to prevent yarn from tangling, a circular needle holder, and six handy pockets for keeping assorted craft paraphernalia. The Knitter Satchel is also really stylish, so you can enjoy it as an everyday bag even when you’re leaving your knitting gear behind.
Unlike so many designers who simply give during October, Paige donates a portion of the profits all year round. “October shouldn’t be the only month we think about this,” she noted. Too true. Ordinarily I’d think that a 10% donation was on the meager side, but her consistent effort really means those dollars add up.
