In complementary tones of midnight and ginger, striped paths decorate this sling from El Salvador. The Women Leaders of La Colorada promote local artisan women as they present this handbag, which is accented in brown leather and drapes over the shoulder on a single adjustable strap.

Women Leaders of La Colorada

"Thanks to our efforts, we were able to open our own workshop, which makes us very proud. Together we've learned that nothing is impossible and, once trust our dreams, we can achieve many things."

"We are a group of women who craft handbags. The Women Leaders of La Colorada was founded in January 2010 in El Salvador... after some doctors from the US visited us and learned that we had limited income opportunities. This led one of the doctors to teach us how to create bags and other accessories.

"We learned how to sew and eventually found a workspace. We were four women and although two of our original members have retired, we're now five. Three of us are single mothers. I'm 47 and have an 18-year old son," Maura Sarmiento explains. "I came to this group after one of the original members retired and she recommended me, so I accepted immediately. I had never had a job and was nervous about joining but, thankfully, they helped and trained me to make bags and wallets.

"This opportunity to be part of the project has been a blessing. Group members have a job and earn our own money, which has helped our families. Our workplace is nearby so we don't have to pay bus fares to get to work.

"We're women who have had to work hard to get ahead in life, but God has always illuminated our path and put incredible people in our lives who have helped us.

"We live on an island where it's difficult for women to find work, but we learned that by combining our efforts and dreams, we could create wonderful things, new opportunities and, together, we could unlock doors. We want to reach more people and leave a little piece of ourselves in another part of the world.

"Our mission is to create quality handbags that shoppers will like.

"Starting out was difficult since we're pretty isolated here and very far from the capital. We had trouble communicating with our first clients, but we were able to overcome our obstacles and are a very solid group.

"Thanks to our efforts, we were able to open our own workshop, which makes us very proud. Together we've learned that nothing is impossible and, once we trust our dreams, we can achieve many things. We are the providers for our households. We don't need to rely on anyone and what could be better than creating beautiful handbags?"

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.

WIN # 3 Artisans Profit!
