Lyra Plaid Handbag

Description

What if you could switch a cool and casual crossbody bag into a bold, formal handbag? You can. This Lyra Plaid Handbag is a multi-purpose accessory that adds a dash of color to your entire outfit. The bag can be used as a handbag or worn as a crossbody. The crocheted plaid designs make the bag as glamorous as it looks. The crocheted round handles and the generous tassel makes this the perfect plaid handbag for any occasion! 

These bags have been hand-knitted and crocheted by Russian women who have inculcated the age-long, Russian traditional knitting skills that have been passed down through generations. At Equal Hands, we work with independent Russian women consistent with our Code of Ethical Production to bring you these exquisite creations by researching sustainable materials, modern hardware upgrades, and ancestral techniques. In doing so, we attempt to contribute to their economic development, women empowerment, and environmental conservation.

The Social Pillar

Equal Hands partners with artisans and organizations in underserved communities around the world to provide a dignified income and opportunities for talented makers. We also donate a portion of the purchase price to local charitable causes we support.

The Environment Pillar

We are very aware of the negative impact fast fashion and mass production has had on the environment. This awareness has led us to work towards offering the most environmentally sustainable and natural products that we can find.

The Economic Pillar

We strongly believe that empowered individuals hold the ability to break the cycle of poverty and that in particular, women need to be connected to opportunities so that communities can thrive.

This world, at times, seems too big for us. Massive amounts of energy going in the wrong directions. That inertia can seem overwhelming for one person. But one person, joining others can have an impact. Particularly when the impulse is pure and inspired by a thing of beauty. Our purchase decisions can change the planet’s fate and people’s lives for the better.
