NALA

All these bags feature a recycling technique from Malaysia that incorporates small oragami folded squares of used, scrap fabrics.

The trim is made by people from different charities within local communities such as drug rehab centres, women empowerment initiatives, vocalization training and community development projects instigating workshops that develop skills, create income and lead to a sustainable employment. 

Since 2007 these hand bag sales have put $90,000 back into these communities.
