Sophea started it for me


If you know me, what is about to come next will not surprise you. I L*O*V*E Southeast Asia. I love the scenery, I love the languages, I love the food, and I love the people. I love just about anything that has to do with Southeast Asia, honestly. So, about a year ago I saw an ad in BUST magazine for this awesome bag, called the Sophea's Handbag, from Global Sister Goods.

This website is awesome. If you sit down some days and think about how you could help a woman somewhere else on the planet to make a better life and think that its out of your reach, you're wrong. Global Sister Goods is a friend of fair trade, so the women who create the goods on the site are paid a fair price for their labor...which might possibly be better pay than they'd get in other jobs. So...check out the site.

I totally didn't know you loved SE Asia. I guess you really do learn something new every day :)
