five Accessories | Review and Giveaway
November 12, 2009 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Giveaways
five ACCESSORIES is a socially conscious company featuring handbags and accessories sourced through fair trade practices in FIVE countries. Our mission is to help generate income for individuals in developing areas, donate a substantial portion of the revenues to worthy causes in those areas, and to foster the use of sustainable materials in fashion.
In addition to our work with artisans in Bali, India, Honduras, and Cambodia, five ACCESSORIES is also partnering with several local organizations. In April 2009, we launched an accessory line titled ‘Off The Street’, which is sourced and produced by vendors of StreetWise, a Chicago based social enterprise designed to help elevate severely impoverished men and women out of poverty. By employing individuals that have formerly been homeless and using littered material “off the streets” of Chicago, we are offering a unique eco-friendly accessory line consisting of bracelets, buttons, belts, pins and picture frames constructed and adorned with items such as transit cards, bottle caps, ticket stubs from sporting events and other urban refuse. As with all of our accessory sales, 15% of gross income will be donated back to the local organization, StreetWise.
Picture Frame
A unique Chicago find that makes a perfect green gift. Made from refuse collected from the streets of Chicago, cleaned and handmade by the vendors of StreetWise. Each item comes with the picture and story of the individual who made it. Holds a 4x 6 picture. 15% of sales goes back to StreetWise as a fundraiser. Picture by Neal Neo.
Can be found at five Accessories for $15.00
Bangles
Solid curved wood bangles that goes great with any outfit. Comes in a set of two.
Can be found on five Accessories for $10.00
My Thoughts
I love companies that are out there helping to make a difference. five Accessories is one of them. Giving back to any community is such an admirable opportunity to see smiles on so many faces. You have to take a few minutes out of your day to read about the difference five Accessories is doing in different countries. Their products are very well made and very functional. I love my handbag and the bracelets that I got, and I recommend five Accessories to everyone. This holiday season think about buying from them and help them to help others.
five Accessories is so giving that they have donated a beautiful bracelet for me to giveaway to one lucky Dirty Shirt reader. That is cool right? Well they did a whole bunch better than one. I have 10 bracelets from Bali to giveaway to 10 lucky Dirty Shirt readers. See the bracelet and the rules below to enter today.
Triangular Solid Wood Bracelet
One of our newest solid wood bracelets from Bali. This 1 1/2 inch wide bracelet is made of triangular shaped solid wood bamboo pieces. Perfect for the tribeca look!!
