Rafiqan's Story of Hope"Since becoming an artisan a lot of stability has come in my life. It definitely gives us strength and we can plan our coming months and not live by day to day. The regular work and income has made it easy for me to send my kids to school. I dream my kids are able to go to college and finish their higher studies without any hiccups." Rafiqan lives near Jaipur, a city renowned for its legendary artisanal workshops. Extreme poverty in many of the surrounding villages often results in the exploitation of vulnerable Artisans - especially women - in sweatshops with unsafe workspaces, unreasonable hours, and unfair wages.Committed to empowering Artisans, this workshop trained Rafiqan in the art of leather crafting. She began as a materials cutter and can now make an entire bag - from start to finish - by herself! Now Rafiqan is able to earn a living wage in a safe clean workspace.

Well, the only thing I have against it is that the handle was advertised as being leather and it is not. Otherwise, it’s a well made purse.
