Best Damn Eco-Bags Ever: Rising Tide Fair Trade Clutch
Rising Tide’s Fair Trade Zola & Zaria Everyday Clutch ($65)
They say a rising tide lifts all ships. And lifting ships—in the form of creating demand for fair-trade goods and putting pressure on global commerce to turn the tide of poverty—is exactly what Rising Tide Fair Trade aims to do.
The company devotes itself to creating runway-ready bags using traditional textiles, fair-wage labor and a people- and planet-friendly process. And the bags? Amazing.
We’re wild for the Zola & Zaria collection, which features batiks, traditional shwe-shwe prints, tie-dyes and wax prints sourced directly from markets around Sub-Saharan Africa, combined with cruelty-free leather finishes.
We’re not about to loosen our grip on the Zola & Zaria Everyday Clutch, with that slick running stitch along its hip leather grip—go get your own! But we’re warning you: The gorgeous range of patterns might make it tough to choose just one.
What do you put into your Zola & Zaria Everyday Clutch? That’s up to you. But what you get out is an FTF-certified, Green-America-approved, expertly crafted and totally fierce everyday bag whose proceeds help make the world a better place.
