Acarage Coin Purse

The Acaraje coin purse is a half zip circle purse for carrying loose change or any other small bits and pieces you need to keep close at hand. Featuring two rows of recycled ring-pulls and detailed hand crotchet.

Properties

Each bag is handmade by linking hundreds of recycled ring pulls together in a crochet formation. People from a community project in Salvador in Brazil have been trained to make these bags using thousands of old drink can ring-pulls which would otherwise have gone in to landfill. The project also gives a much needed boost in sustainable income for the team and encourages community cohesion.

Bottletop

The Bottletop charity is based on a very simple recipe. They fund projects having a positive impact on the health and well-being of young people world-wide. By fund-raising through fashion and music they focus on helping small, dynamic education initiatives, with a particular emphasis on sexual and reproductive health education.

They look for organisations that operate within the framework of local culture, and wherever possible, are managed by local people. Real progress can be made when people from those communities are involved in deciding what is needed most and what approach would be most effective.

Development is not just about raising money. That's why since Bottletop started, they have always tried to manufacture the products they sell in areas of the world where the education initiatives are based, providing incomes for people locally. That way they are helping themselves indivdually and as a community through education.
