[store finds : OUR ART tote bag]

I bought some tote bags to give away last Christmas. Like the silver one I got for my mom, this bag, when purchased, will also help a low-income community.

This attractive bag features paintings 'designed by senior citizens-retirees & sewn by women from underprivileged communities'. It is made of printed tarpaulin (front) & polycanvas (back & sides).

Marketed by Repurposed Manila, the OUR ART TOTES, have been doing the rounds in bazaars. But I bought this one in the Filipiniana section of The Landmark, Makati. Price per piece is a couple of hundred pesos.

You can choose from various designs in their collection. I got 5, one of which is the one shown here.

Buy one now so you can help others, too.
