Available only while quantities last.  The Details This beautiful, sturdy, and functional denim bag has 3 exterior pockets and 1 interior pocket that features a zipper to close. The bag is lined with coral pink upholstery fabric and has a zipper along the top. The bag measures 19" long & 16.5" high. FAQs Q: When can I pick up my order? A: This won't feel like your typical Amazon next-day-delivery-order. Once a bag is pre-ordered through our website, Sara will begin to sew the bag! The finish date is approximately 3-4 weeks. Once it's ready for pick-up, you will be notified by email! Q: How did you arrive at the final cost of the bag? A: The purpose of the pre-order project is not to compete with mass production and fast fashion prices, that fuel overconsumption while [predominately] women textile workers receive unacceptable wages. The cost of the bag reflects the true cost of labour invested into making a quality product, with the proceeds going back directly into the pockets of local women we serve in our programs. The reality: sewing takes time, and women deserve to make a living wage for their time, skills, and expertise. When women are empowered to succeed, communities thrive. A full cost breakdown is available on the left (the last image in the carousel). Q: It sold out before I could pre-order one! Will there be another opportunity? A: Yes!
