IN THE SPOTLIGHT – Mend Handbags

Featured wholesaler MEND HANDBAGS by Invisible Children offers handmade handbags that not only look amazing, but support a wonderful cause.  

MEND handbags are constructed by women in Northern Uganda who have been effected by the devastating conflict taking place between the government and the Lord’s Resistance Army. Abducted and often used as sex slaves, many of these courageous women have returned home after experiencing horrific ordeals with children of their own and no financial way to care for them. Through MEND, which is part of the Invisible Children Organization, these women are giving the opportunity to gain work and provide for their families. The designs of MEND are unique and beautiful with a variety of styles to choose from. Both functional and fashionable, every handbag has the name of the woman who crafted it stitched into the inside of the handbag.  You can even get to know these brave, strong ladies yourself by visiting this informative link, http://www.invisiblechildren.com/mend/handbagmakers. Offered for men and women, these bags introduce a great product and a great story to share with your customers. To learn more about MEND and how you can get these handbags into your store, contact Marie at marie@invisiblechildren.com.
