The Emancipation Network came onto my radar in the form of a Christmas gift shown above. Good design that is organic and fair are my favorite things and I wanted to share this little zip purse. First, the design aspects. It is contructed using plastic bags that are held together with twine and it is lined with cotton muslin. It’s quite a tight weave and I love the technique that was used (it is similar to the way kitchen rag carpets are made). The colors are great, I love the diagonal layout and for a little clutch it’s pretty well thought-out. There are many other products to chose from on the MadeBySurvivors.com online store. Second, I’d like to highlight the Fair Trade and ethical aspects of this purse. You must give credit to movies and the capabilities of video to send a message because the film, “The Day My God Died” by Andrew Levine inspired the founders, Sarah Symons and John Berger of The Emancipation Network to get to work.
