Large Full-Grain Leather Tote Bag - Handmade in Kenya

Jubilee Trading Co is a fair trade business that brings together handmade goods from different artisan partners - hand-printed cotton tea towels, hand-poured soy candles, leather wall art, and leather and canvas bags made by artisans in Morocco and Kenya. The common thread isn't one material or place; it's steady, fairly paid work.

Everything is made by hand in small batches, so each piece varies a little from the next. Purchases support fair wages and good working conditions through fair trade partnerships - including a workshop in rural Tennessee that creates employment for women.
