COUNTING SHOE BAGS

With every purchase, the customer gets to pick out a shoe bag made by a local woman. We work with women who cannot hold a traditional jobs to supplement their incomes. Some are caregivers. Some are stay at home Moms. Some work full time. Some are retired. All of them love to Sew.

We use these sustainable shoe bags instead of plastic or paper and they are made from our remnants. We started counting in January 2017, As customers pick out their shoe bag, we get to tell our story.
