As conscientious shoppers, we find ourselves gravitating towards thoughtful consumer purchases. Whether we are rethinking the money we spend, caring more for eco-minded products, not to mention any number of other considerations for the money we spend, we have become more conscientious – as least we should be. What if we could achieve all of the above in every purchase we make? Thanks to companies like Earth Divas, saving money and buying green are simple achievements – at least when it comes to handbags and an amazing variety of accessories.

The next time you find yourself looking for the perfect purse, backpack, or handmade necklace; this Fair Trade Federation Member should be at the very top of your list. Earth Divas has evolved from the Hemp Sisters, selling hemp products, to a fair trade handbags company selling accessories made from silk, hemp, recycled materials and more– without compromising quality, affordability, and a sheer desire to fully support female fair trade artisans.

Probably one of the most driven supporters for providing consumers with really cool designs made by true fair trade artisans, Earth Divas has recently launched a campaign (Divas4Divas) to provide further education to these artisans. One of the main reasons for advocating Earth Divas in this article is the simple fact that is company is the real deal for supporting true fair trade.

Or at these prices, choose both!
