Wearing Handmade Bags Shows Your Heart on Your Sleeve

Handmade bags aren't just eclectic little pieces of fashion to accessorize your wardrobe--they're also a tool to express your own attitude, values, and social commitment!  That may seem like a big statement for such a little accessory but handmade bags really do make their mark.

 

First off, they show you're committed to social justice.  These bags are crafted by skilled artisans who are struggling to keep their livelihoods in the face of the machination of the manufacturing industry.  By buying, you help them with that fight.

 

Handmade bags also show you're not restricted to the rigid fashion sense that's foisted upon the masses by magazines and TV.  You can think outside the box!

 

Just picture all of those A-list celebrities walking the red carpet showcasing their fancy new handmade sling bags and oversized purses.  While all of them are essentially sling bags (or purses), they've each got their own sense of fun and attitude.  Whether they're flashy and sassy or earthy and humble sling bags that are made by hand are always unique.  And being unique is a powerful thing when it comes to fashion.

 

But before you sit back and imagine that buying a new bag is going to boost your social status and standing with those fashion-forward folks you've been trying to impress, take it one step further.  Consider buying recycled bags.  Recycled bags, handmade ones of course, do double duty.  Not only are they showcasing your commitment to social equality, those bags are broadcasting the fact that you care about Mother Earth.

 

However, if you don't want to look like a hippy or tree hugger, you can always find recycled bags that are more high-fashion.  One excellent example are silk bags you can find on the internet that are manufactured from the cast-offs at shirt factories and such.  They re-use a natural material and provide meaningful and gainful employment for individual artisans and craftspeople that would otherwise have none.

 

Silk bags are great.  They're colorful, vibrant, and funky without looking to "manufactured."  The last thing you want on your arm when you're trying to impress someone is a plastic sack!  And recycled silk bags aren't that expensive compared to their first-run cousins.  That's because the folks who make them get the raw materials at an incredible discount that they can pass on to you.

 

So don't be afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve.
