The Essentials
What happens when a cutting edge fashion designer pairs up with a project to empower the women of a poor urban community known for being one of its country’s largest dump sites? Beautiful bags of course! Rags2Riches creates stylish social statements from woven recycled-scrap-cloth, designed by Rajo Laurel and handcrafted by the women of Payatas, in the Philippines. This innovative company has already won several awards such as the University of San Francisco Social Enterprise Award and The Body Shop Foundation Grant.
Ethic-Chic
Bags are created from recycled scrap cloth using traditional weaving skills and a profit sharing scheme for its workers.
