One could argue that most bags are natural handbags since they are made of natural material. But I beg to differ. It is not fair to call a leather handbag as natural handbag if it is stained with animal slaughter. None of us can agree that every product we buy is cruelty free. Most women love carrying chic handbags that make a fashion statement. Having said that, if the same handbag can be made with materials that are really natural without sacrificing style or fashion, why wouldnt you want it? Moreover, if these handbags are driven by socially driven initiative like Fairtrade, its an added bonus.
The concept of Natural Handbags:
It is a no-brainer that a natural handbag is one that in sync with nature. There are a ton of such alternatives available today. Unlike just few years back, beautiful handbags that are made of simple everyday materials like raffia grass, corn husk, straw and other natural fibers are available today. These handbags are as hip and chic as their "unnatural" counterparts. Not to mention, one does not have to spend a fortune for these bags.
What is Fairtrade?
As the name suggests, fairtrade is a unique system of trade that promotes fairness to the producers, artists and consumers. As per the definition on fairtrade.net website, Fairtrade is an alternative approach to conventional trade and is based on a partnership between producers and consumers. Fairtrade offers producers a better deal and improved terms of trade. This allows them the opportunity to improve their lives and plan for their future. Fairtrade offers consumers a powerful way to reduce poverty through their every day shopping.
At Terra Trendz, we offer a unique and a wide variety of natural handbags many of which are even fairtrade. For example, check out this lovely handbag(http://www.terratrendz.com/Mad_Imports_Ile_St_Marie_p/mi ...) that is not only just handwoven with natural straw but also supports a cause since it is a fairtrade handbag.
Now lets look at this cute natural handbag(http://www.terratrendz.com/Half_Moon_Monroe_Corn_Husk_Ha ...) which is meticulously handwoven from corn husk which is available in abundance.
The idea is to make fashion accessories as chic and stylish as any other accessories and hope that more people will choose this over conventional choices and help the Green Cause.
We at Terra Trendz believe that there shouldn't be any compromise between keeping it Green and keeping one's style. By providing people with a trendy alternate we hope that we can contribute our 2 cents to the earth.
Terra Trendz was formed by a bunch of friends who were bitten by the Green bug when the word was still being associated with "Envy". A lot has changed since then. We hope its for the Greater Good.
