Handmade purses and jewelry from Bali, India, Guatemala, Cambodia and Honduras... and all mostly under $50 as well as charity based profits? Five Accessories based in Chicago has taken global fashion to charitable heights.
The story behind the brand is just as exotic as it's merchandise. Christine, the owner, was vacationing with her husband in Bali and got wooed by the local artisans who created there. As a result Five Accessories was born and their mission is to create programs for individuals who need income while donating portion of sales to charities that support the arts.
A great example is the brands collaboration with StreetWise. The company employees Streetwise vendors to create accessories for a line called Off The Street, the artist actually reuse discarded ticket stubs and bus passes to create the line.
Intriguing and globally fashionable.
