Handbags Making a Difference

Who says handbags are only made for being a major accessory? Well, Brooklyn bound, Ethopian native Makeda Amha has turned her passion for creating handbags into a worthy cause. She has been designing Makeda Collection NYC since 2007 and accessorizing with non-profit organizations. The goal for the company is to create beautiful handbags and to raise awareness of the social and environmental challenges facing Africa. So far, she has partnered with six non-profit organizations that provide basic needs like water, medicine, education, and cultural and wildlife preservation in Africa.

My fav bag from her collection is this one called the Gojo! Absolutely FIERCE!

I just love that handbags are apart of making a difference so a big shout out goes to Makeda. Who would of thought to pair awareness and handbags, serving not only a fashion purpose but for a social purpose.
