Fancy Footwork Tote and Glossy Goodness Bowl

I guess today is global awareness day at Bag Snob. Now wouldn't it be great to be environmental and socially conscious? If you just want a cute shopping tote ($29.95) that is useful and reusable, why not get one of these from World of Good, a website that sells fair trade products made by artisans around the world. Fair trade practice is one that pays artisans fair wages, provides safe working conditions, supports the communities they're in and helps sustain the local environment. I have a bracelet and a little jewelry box with amazing craftsmanship and cute, too! I shopped around and found more products that I am going to get. The Glossy Goodness Bowl ($19.95),handmade in Vietnam, is great for snacks and the Bowled Over Tray ($34.95) handcrafted in the Philippines from Acacia wood is perfect for displaying fruit. I love the beautiful wood and it'll look so nice on my dining table. Does all this not look like stuff you get for hundreds of dollars at some fancy shop? I can't wait to get the Moo-ve Over for Fair Trade Tong ($39.95) made from buffalo horn and wood in Vietnam for serving my daily salads. Now, why wouldn't you want to feel good about what you buy and be able to get beautiful hand-crafted products at great prices? It's win win for everyone! Please help us in supporting free trade and give better lives to the communities that benefit from it.
