ARTISAN HANDBAG
March 23rd, 2009
In another celebration of International Women’s Day, DVF partnered with the Vital Voices Global Network for an Artisan Design Competition. This competition challenged women from Haiti, Guatemala, Nigeria and Cambodia to design an original handbag reflective of the local traditions of their home country.
The winner is Phelicia Dell from Haiti. Her unique design is inspired by Ayizam, the Haitian goddess of marketplace and commerce. The bags are hand-painted in vibrant colors by the women of the Femmes en Democratie network. Phelicia’s winning design is now available in Orange and Natural at DVF boutiques and online. Proceeds benefit Vital Voices.
